Transcript of the video:

If you think that Medicaid cuts will not directly impact you, you are wrong.

Medicaid is the invisible backbone that keeps our entire healthcare industry functioning, working, [and] funded.

Without Medicaid, therapy clinics close, special education staff members are let go, [and] premiums skyrocket. Crowding in hospitals is out of control because patients who were receiving Medicaid services at home end up in hospitals. Wait-lists become unmanageable. And people die.

Basically, the entire healthcare system will go belly-up and we will all feel it.

So, if the fact that 50,000 Americans – many of which will be children – will die [every year] doesn't motivate you to call your Senators, maybe the fact that you will directly feel the impact will?

I don't know; I've tried to film this a thousand times and I cry every time so this is my last take.

Description written by the creator for the video:

You might think this doesn’t affect you because your kid isn’t disabled or your family isn’t on Medicaid but that’s just not how this works.

Medicaid is the invisible backbone of the entire care system. It pays for the speech therapist at your kid’s school. It keeps your neighbor’s medically fragile kid out of the ICU. It funds the home nurses, the therapy clinics, the medical supply companies, and the hospitals. Medicaid keeps systems running for everyone.

Disability isn’t a niche issue. If you live long enough, you’ll either become disabled or love someone who is. This isn’t only a “poor or disabled” issue. It’s everyone’s issue.
