Winsome Earle-Sears: “The bill as you know now does so many great things”
 

VIRGINIA – Following Augusta Medical Group announcing three of their locations will be forced to close as a result of Trump’s tax law that Winsome Earle-Sears has praised, Sears has offered no plans to protect rural Virginians access to affordable healthcare. 
 
In an interview with CNN Winsome Earle-Sears outright lied when asked about the tax law, saying “there are no Virginians who are going to lose Medicaid coverage in Virginia” as 350,000 Virginians are expected to lose healthcare. Sears also said the law “does so many great things” as reports detailed how the law would force rural hospitals and health centers to close.   
 
Questions Sears Must Answer: 

• Why do you think health clinics closing in Virginia is a “great thing”? 
• Why are you lying about Trump’s tax law when you know Virginians will lose coverage? 
• Why have you celebrated and backed the Trump law that’s forcing these clinics to close? 
• Why don’t you have a plan to protect Virginians’ access to healthcare in their communities?
