For just over 60 years, Medicaid and Medicare have protected the health and well-being of Pennsylvanians. Trump continues to put these pillars of protection at risk for the benefit of billionaires and corporations.
I know he used to annoy people, but at least Joe Manchin understood the power of his vote and used it. Republicans senators don’t even try to use their votes to get anything. A senator is supposed to do that.
