A mother dares the Senate to look her son in the eyes and tell him he's not worth it anymore

Friday evening a woman posted a thread about what the Republican money grab means to her and her small son. According to her Twitter account her son was born with heterotaxy. There are various forms that this takes but it means that his heart and (possibly) other organs were arranged in a serious and life-threatening way. There are intensive surgeries that can help people born with heterotaxy and as you can imagine, they are not free. As the Republican Party moving forward with their craven robbery of Medicaid and the protections in the Affordable Care Act, this thread is a reminder of what is at stake. It’s more than money, it’s life.

Whatever happens, she has that boy forever and he has her. That’s what this life is about.
