US Senator Ricketts: Protect Medicaid Coverage for American Families!


Why reply with this kind of crap. This is the email I just opened:

April 2, 2025

Thank you for contacting my office regarding Medicaid.

As you know, Medicaid is a joint federal and state program established to provide health coverage to individuals with limited resources. Medicaid is vital for millions of Americans. In Nebraska, our excellent healthcare workforce makes administering this program possible.

We must ensure Medicaid operates efficiently and streamlines many of its services. It is also important that we identify potential waste, fraud, and abuse. These actions will help protect Medicaid for the millions of Americans who rely on it.

My primary mission as your United States Senator is to make government work with proven Nebraskan solutions that are ready for America. To better inform my decision-making, it is important that I hear the ideas, concerns, and opinions of all Nebraskans. I appreciate the time and effort you took to provide input on Medicaid and will keep your views in mind as the U.S. Senate considers this issue.

If you have any other concerns or need help with a federal agency, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can contact my office through the following ways:

· Phone: (202) 224-4224 or (402) 550-8040

The Ricketts family owns the Chicago Cubs. A friend put it well: We know almost all sports teams owners are billionaires who want to pay as few taxes as possible, but the Ricketts are hardcore Trumpers. The Dad is a rightwing asshole, brother Todd Ricketts was the Finance Chair of the Trump/Pence 2020 campaign, and Sen. Pete Ricketts is loyal vote for anything Trump wants.

But you know what is worse? Sister Laura Ricketts is gay and a sponsor of the Cubs is Chick Fil A, whose owners donate to Christian right groups in Africa that want to kill gay people.

I will always root for my Cubs, but I just can't give that family a dime of my money.
