#SNAP Recipients Crushed by #Democrats Caving on #Shutdown: “They Just Wasted It All”
People on #FoodStamps said they were willing to sacrifice to protect #HealthCare benefits. They’re furious that the Democrats gave up.
Jessica Washington, November 12 2025
Excerpt: "The Intercept spoke with four SNAP recipients who said they’re furious that Democrats squandered the sacrifice they made for the last month to ensure access to health care for millions of Americans — just as voters rewarded the party for finally fighting back against Republicans with major electoral victories last week.
" 'We sacrificed and we would continue to sacrifice because we understood what the stakes were. People’s health care was at stake,' said Delight Worthyn, 67, a SNAP recipient with lupus living in New Haven, Connecticut. 'And that they would cave for nothing after we have all gone through this. … I only feel betrayed.' "

'People will die': #Maine nurses protest #MedicaidCuts in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
Aysia Reed, Tue, July 1st 2025 at 12:21 PM
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Senators could vote on Tuesday on President Donald #Trump's self-proclaimed '#BigBeautifulBill,' a sweeping policy document that lawmakers have been debating all day and night.
"They are in a phase where any senator can add an amendment, known as a 'vote-a-rama.'
"While the president was hoping to see it on his desk by July 4, senators have been back and forth since the weekend.
"One of the biggest hang ups between the parties has been proposed cuts to health care and programs like Medicaid.
"Nurses from across the state will be outside of Senator Susan Collins’ district office in Portland on Tuesday to protest the proposed medical cuts under Trump’s bill.
"This is part of a nationwide effort held by the group #NationalNursesUnited, which is the nation's largest #union of registered nurses.
"New estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office show nearly 12 million Americans could lose their health insurance if Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' passes.
"Medicaid provides health care coverage to the most vulnerable populations. More than one in five people in the U.S. had health care covered by Medicaid in 2023, according to National Nurses United.
"Senator #AngusKing says an analysis shows 60,000 people in Maine would lose their coverage. That's 40,000 under #Medicaid and 20,000 under the #AffordableCareAct.
"Without insurance, he says people will die because they won't have access to routine care.
" 'The idea of cutting health insurance from people is not just, 'Oh well, they just won't have coverage for their doctor’s visits.' No, people die when they don’t have health insurance. There is statistical analysis to bear that out,' said King.
