Debbie Wasserman Schultz: ‘People Will Die’ as a Result of Trump’s OBBB Passing
EXCERPT:
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ “And, you know, big numbers maybe don’t resonate so much, but the human stories, when we put a face on the reality of these cuts, that is going to show people the real pain that Republicans have caused. Look, the bottom line here is that Trump lied and people are going to die. They will die as a result of not having health care. I can tell you, as a breast cancer survivor, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 41 years old and found the lump myself, God forbid — and I remember thinking this because I was diagnosed right as we were debating the Affordable Care Act — God forbid I didn’t have health insurance and couldn’t go right to the doctor to see what was wrong. And there are millions of people who won’t be able to go to a doctor, and they will get so sick that they will face the emergency room as their primary access point for care, or they will just die as a result of totally preventable illness because Republicans, Trump and the MAGA extremists, yanked it away from them. And kids, disabled veterans and seniors will go hungry, guaranteed. So we’re going to share those stories and we’re going to make them pay.”
