Letter from Virginia Kennedy

Policies Must Uplift Everyone

Recent proposals to slash Medicaid funding while simultaneously advancing tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations raise serious concerns about our nation’s priorities. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of low-income families, including children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, providing access to essential healthcare services that many would otherwise go without. Here in Otsego County more than one in every five of our friends and neighbors receives vital Medicaid services. Curtailing these services to fund tax breaks for those who need them least is not only morally reprehensible but also economically shortsighted.
