About
**We're bringing an ambulance to Grand Rapids because Michigan's healthcare system is in crisis — and MAGA Extremist Mike Rogers just doesn't care.** Join coalition partners Committee to Protect Healthcare, Kent County Indivisible, SEIU, WFP, and Reproductive Freedom for All! We can't afford our healthcare and basic living expenses, and Mike Rogers' voting record tells you why: he voted against the Affordable Care Act in 2010, has praised the Medicaid cuts in last year's federal budget bill, and said he'd let ACA subsidies expire — putting an estimated 700,000 Michiganders at risk of losing their coverage. He was even recorded telling a private audience he supports $50 copays on routine cancer screenings and a return to high-risk pools for people who are already sick. When: Thursday, October 8 at 5:30pm Where: 120 College Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI Bring: A healthcare sign if you've got one — we'll have extras. And a neighbor or four. 🚑 Hospitals and clinics are closing across Michigan. 🤰 Labor and delivery units are shutting down. 🏥 Rural health services are disappearing. 💊 Copays are going up. 📉 Medicaid coverage is on the chopping block. 💳 Families are paying more for less care. 📈 Up to 700,000 Michiganders could lose coverage. We're gathering to demand accountability for the healthcare crisis hitting Michigan families — featuring an ambulance, huge banners, Michigan voters with personal stories about how they're paying more while getting less care. **Together, we'll make sure Michigan families are seen, heard, and impossible to ignore.**
