NEW ADS: Iowa mom calls out Congresswoman Miller-Meeks for making the largest Medicaid cuts in history
Fairness for Iowa launched new digital ads in their ongoing ad campaign calling out Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks for voting for massive cuts to Medicaid that will hurt Iowa families.
Miller-Meeks voted for the largest cuts in history to Medicaid last year, leaving thousands of Iowans worried about their health care options and rural hospitals at risk of closing, to make permanent massive tax breaks for billionaires.
Featured in the ads is Jonna, a mother of two in Johnson County. She shares her story with two sons that depend on Medicaid for essential health care.
“Hundreds of thousands of Iowans rely on Medicaid, including families just like us,” Jonna said. “Both my kids have had chronic health conditions since birth and Medicaid covers what private insurance doesn’t. Without that help, they wouldn’t be able to get the care they need. Miller-Meeks’ decision to side with billionaires and corporations over thousands of her own constituents shows that her priorities do not align with her job title.”
Ad scripts:
Both my kids have had chronic health conditions since birth. Medicaid covers what private insurance doesn’t. It pays for co-pays. It pays for emergency room visits
But Congresswoman Miller Meeks voted to cut Medicaid
So billionaires could get a tax break.
I grew up in Iowa, and I spent a lot of time in Lutheran Sunday school. Never anywhere did it say that we should take all we have and give it to the billionaires. I haven’t slept through the night in months. I wake up wondering how long are we gonna be able to afford the care that our kids need.
All you want as a parent is for your kids to lead full, happy lives…no matter what. Both my kids have had chronic health conditions since birth. We’re able to afford the round-the-clock care, medications, and hospital visits because of Medicaid. Our life isn’t possible without Medicaid.
Congresswoman Miller-Meeks voting to cut Medicaid enrages me.
She’s making working families pay more
To give billionaires a tax break.
I wake up worrying about how are we gonna afford these things. She should be looking out for us.
