She wrote, many of the people I work with rely on Medicaid because they can only work part time or because their employers don't offer benefits. Cutting them off will just make health care more expensive for everyone. The rich do not need an extension on tax cuts at the expense of low income and middle class families. Mr. President, these are my constituents. These are folks who, unprompted, took time to write or call their senator and every single one of them, Mr. President, saying the same thing. (11:24–11:34)
