I'm a primary care doctor and a mom. I can think of few things that are as important to our lives as our health. Call Congress and tell them: Their budget bill is bad for our health. Call them every day that health matters to you. #VoteNO

Medicaid is my patients getting regular mammograms instead of advanced breast cancer. It's my patients managing their diabetes instead of going blind. It's people being able to be productive members of society so they can climb out of poverty. #DontCutOurMedicaid

Health is everything. It's our ability to work, to go to school, to hug our children, to care for our elders. When one person goes down, it hurts all of us. There are many ways to cut costs and improve health - taking away health insurance isn't one of them. #DontCutOurMedicaid

@atychen I grew up in an economically downtrodden New England mill town. My dad was a doctor and most of his patients were on Medicaid. He gave them OUTSTANDING care and they loved him for it. #DontCutOurMedicaid... especially not to pay for billionaire donor tax cuts.

As a doctor, I know Medicaid is how many people who play important roles in our lives get their care - childcare workers, cleaning workers, construction workers, parents, fellow Americans in every community. #DontCutOurMedicaid
