Sarah, yes! When you first talked a few weeks ago about how we ARE the Brave, it struck me that you are right - this is our slogan! I’m so inspired to learn that you leading a new movement to hear our stories of how trump’s cuts and cruel policies are affecting us: The normal people who are not afraid to speak out!

I plan to go to the Home of the Brave website and tell my own story. Recently, I was talking to a guy who came to fix a leak about how Medicaid is the only bulwark against poverty that most of us have in old age. I pay $12,000 a MONTH for my husband’s nursing home care. Without Medicaid to pick up the tab when we run out of money, what would we do? How many families can afford that kind of expense for even a few months?
But until our parents or we ourselves are facing old age and declining health, we have no clue that Medicaid is what enables families to take care of our elders when we can no longer do it ourselves at home.
When I told the plumber that I was paying $12,000 a month, he was shocked. As a young man, whose parents are still healthy, this was not even on his radar. He thought Medicaid was allowing healthy young guys like him live in their parents’ basement and play video games all day.
Thank you, Sarah, for giving all of us, the Home Town Brave, a way to stand up and fight back.
