Summary
Six states hosted Protect Our Care events this week as the group rolled out its largest grassroots campaign yet, pairing new state fact sheets with August-recess pressure on Republican lawmakers.
The campaign argues Republicans cut more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA to finance tax breaks, driving coverage losses, premium spikes and hospital strain.
Arizona's Friday event with Sen. Ruben Gallego highlighted fallout in a state report and tied the push to Trump's vaccine order, which speakers said could worsen public-health risks.
State examples underscored the message: Michigan said 221,000 residents lost coverage or face unaffordable costs, Wisconsin cited 65,389 losing insurance, and Ohio said more than 350,000 are losing coverage.
Protect Our Care's broader 'GOP Hot Seat Summer' is using empty-chair town halls, petition drop-offs and accountability events to keep health care cuts central during the congressional recess.
