Rep. Mackenzie voted YES twice to put sweeping Medicaid cuts into law. Now families are paying the price. Thousands of his constituents could lose Medicaid coverage. Local hospitals face growing financial pressure. And the cost of Pennie plans is skyrocketing. #ThePriceIsHigh (1/2)

Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh
