00:06
my Democratic colleagues are here to stand against Republicans' bad billionaire budget.
00:14

SNAP will betray American families, women, and cause immense suffering.
00:25
Vanessa's six-year-old son, Alex, has hemophilia.
00:29
The littlest cut could cost him his life.
00:32
Imagine worrying about your child bleeding to death just for playing in the schoolyard.
00:40
Alex can live an almost normal life with medicine, but it costs $700,000 a year.
00:46
Vanessa works at the Taos School.
00:50
But in her words, without Medicaid, we would not be able to afford this medicine.
00:56
Alex's mom is terrified to lose Medicaid because she's worried it means she will lose her son.

and with Alex and working moms like Vanessa.
01:15
Who will join us to save Alex's life?
01:19
