Affordable Virginia Celebrates Rep. Jen Kiggans’ Birthday with a Message from the Stars
Virginia Beach, VA – Today, Affordable Virginia released an ad to celebrate Rep. Jen Kiggans’ birthday. With the resurgence of astrology, and it being Gemini Season, we looked into what Rep. Kiggans has to look forward to on her special day, and it turns out there’s not much.
“The stars are not aligning to convince Rep. Kiggans to side with her constituents. She has continued to double down and mislead Virginians on her stance on Medicaid,” said Emily Yeatts, Affordable Virginia Campaigns Director. “Rep. Kiggans has stated that people will not lose health care, but that is false. Her vote supports massive cuts to Medicaid, putting an estimated 300,000 Virginians at risk of losing their health coverage. These cuts threaten to shutter rural clinics and hospitals, potentially cutting off entire communities from care. Even a rural hospital in Rep. Kiggans’ own district faces the risk of closure. This is all in service of giving huge tax cuts to billionaires. Without a change of heart from Rep. Kiggans, the future of her constituents who rely on Medicaid is bleak.”
Here are the facts:
This bill would see the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich
Medicaid cuts will disproportionately affect people of color and children
