The rural IL district that I work in as a nurse has patient population where 62% of people rely on Medicaid or Medicare. During the 2yr budget impasse & then a prolonged stoppage of various Federal funding every single nursing facility within a 50 mile radius filed bankruptcy

Some stayed closed which means shipping rural people's loved ones up towards Chicago where they feel isolated & family have a hard time getting there to see them. OSF hospital systems are nearly a monopoly in rural IL & even they were teetering on the age of bankruptcy

I had to comfort MANY of my patients as they worried themselves into panic when the GOP was attempting to take their ONLY medical insurance away in 2017. I am a nurse I want to help ppl however I can but that was the most helpless Ive ever felt. LIVES DEPEND ON THE ACA HUMAN LIFE

Go visit Venezuela, look around. Maybe you should do something to make Illinois great again? I was born there, spent my early adult life trying to make a living there. Quit bashing the POTUS and do something for your people. smh

I wonder how the people of Illinois put up with this clown. There is so much to be fixed there and people seem content with being average. It’s a better state than that.

Also, these programs were paid for with our Social Security and FICA taxes. We’ve paid into them for our entire lives. These monies are NOT a part of our budget. GOP repeatedly tries to steal from them. Vote them out!
