Barb Regnitz is such a ghoul
After all the storm damage they had up in NWIN, she really thought she was doing something here. She's getting dogwalked in the comments section!

Report: Indiana leads nation in decline of children insured through Medicaid
Let that number sink in for a moment.
175,000 children have lost their Medicaid coverage.
175,000 kids who woke up one day with health insurance and the next day without it. Not because their families suddenly became wealthy. Not because they no longer needed care. Simply because of policy decisions made by people who will never have to worry about how to pay a medical bill.
At its core, this is about what kind of nation we choose to be. And right now we are failing our most vulnerable - our children.
But let's also talk about what this means practically - because beyond the moral failure, this doesn't even make economic sense.
Routine checkups, preventative care, and vaccines are among the most cost-effective investments we can make in a child's health.
When do they lose that access? They end up in emergency rooms with conditions that routine care could have caught and treated months earlier - at a fraction of the cost.
We are quite literally paying more to do less for the children who need us most.
Kids deserve better. Indiana's families deserve better. And District 9 deserves a representative in Washington who will fight to make sure those kids get the care they need.
This is exactly why we are in this race - Medicare for All. Healthcare for All and holding our nations values true to their meaning

How do we help small business competition?
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They create jobs, support local communities, and keep opportunity close to home. Yet too often, government policies make it easier for large corporations to thrive while small businesses face rising costs, limited resources, and an uneven playing field. Instead of investing in local businesses, we have prioritized short term gains that leave many entrepreneurs struggling to grow.
We can level the playing field by expanding access to loans and capital, restoring support for the Small Business Administration, and investing in infrastructure like high speed broadband and reliable transportation. Small businesses need the tools to compete and succeed. I will fight for policies that strengthen local businesses because they create jobs, drive innovation, and are vital to our communities.

Retirement should be a time of security for all.
Retirement should be a time of security, not uncertainty. Yet too many seniors are struggling with rising healthcare costs, gaps in Medicare coverage, and concerns about the future of Social Security after a lifetime of hard work.
We need to expand Medicare to include dental, vision, and hearing care, lower prescription drug and out-of-pocket costs, and strengthen Social Security for future generations. Every retiree deserves healthcare and financial security they can count on.
