Dear Senator ____,
I am very concerned about the impacts the “Big Beautiful Bill” will have on our community.
There is good reason to believe that the Big Beautiful Bill is going to increase poverty by stripping away health care from millions of Americans, including people here in ____. This increase in inequality is likely going to lead to an increase in homicide, based on research done by anthropologists. People are going to be killed through a lack of health care and increased violence fueled by increased inequality.
While there is little we can do at the federal level, we live in a state with a Democratic trifecta, and if we have the will, there is no reason why ______ cannot raise funds to cover the gap in Medicaid that this bill will cause. We spend too much on police as we underfund our health care services. It is time to reverse this trend and work with cities to fund services that save American lives.
I want you to propose a bill in the _____ State Senate to raise the necessary money to plug the hole in the Medicaid budget, this bill will cause to save the lives of our neighbors.
Sincerely,
_______
