When those kicked off Medicaid have to use the ER for care, guess to whom those costs are passed? What hurts one, hurts all. In this together! Call your congressperson now!
Call Rep. Patronis now! DC office (202) 225-4136.
The Big Bullsh*t Bill will hit rural counties hard. In Santa Rosa alone, an estimated 25,000 families will be kicked off Medicaid. We're all in this together. Call now!
BTW, Pcola office has no phone #.
