Congressman Gabe Evans is about to vote on whether to kick millions of Americans off health care.
He's refused to hold town halls to hear from his own constituents, so I went to his office to read the words of a person in his district who could badly suffer, or die, without Medicaid.

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.
