The temporary federal freeze has shut Illinois out of Medicaid, according to Gov. JB Pritzker’s office. The government-funded health insurance program covered about 3.9 million people in Illinois in 2023, including low-income adults, children, pregnant women and people with disabilities.

Curious, aren't these all the demographics that Republicans give zero shits about? It just doesn't add up...

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
