Goochland Cares

Health Care Cuts Are Killing People. Medicare for All is the Answer

August 14, 2026
By: Dr. Bruce Silverman

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) lays bare a brutal truth about American health care: when coverage depends on politics, paperwork, employment status, and state budgets, people
lose care—and some will die because of it. This moment demands more than defensive politics. We cannot simply plead
for smaller cuts, fewer barriers, or temporary patches to a broken system. We must fight for the system patients actually need: Improved Medicare for All.

People Are Dying – Virginia’s Vote on April 21 Can Help Change That

March 31, 2026
By: Dr. Bruce Silverman

I have looked into the eyes of patients who skipped their insulin because they could not afford it. I have watched otherwise preventable cancers progress because someone had no insurance and no way to get a screening. I do this work as a volunteer physician at GoochlandCares, Goochland County’s free clinic — and I need you to understand something: what happens at the ballot box on April 21 will show up in my exam room.

“I want a better society for my kids. I’m passionate about healthcare. I’m a physician, my wife is in public health and the way healthcare is going right now is very frightening and I just want a candidate who is willing to go against what is happening on the national level. The vaccination piece is definitely scary, I think it’s really important to stay up to date with those things, the pandemic changed so much about how people trust the healthcare system, and while there are a lot of ways the healthcare system needs to improve, leadership from the top down needs to be solid and it’s just not solid right now”.

“I’m mostly concerned about the SNAP funding. Because in my profession, I know some people through Virginia Cooperative Extension who were doing nutrition education for SNAP beneficiaries, all of those programs were cut as kind of a ripple effect from the (Big, Beautiful) bill, but they lost those programs, which is important to me – nutrition information. I’m concerned about out healthcare, I’m concerned about what’s happening with immigration right now and for me personally, I’m soon going on Medicare, and I’m concerned with what’s happening with that. Things are so divisive, you can’t even really talk about issues in a calm way”.

“I am passionate about gun safety regulation. I am passionate about enforcement of the anti-trust laws. Those are two big ones for me. And also intelligent AI regulation and data center/environmental regulations. I have concern about the kind of Wild West style lack of regulation of artificial intelligence. I think we need to take a systematic thoughtful approach so that we targeted AI rather than just an uncontrolled profit for a few big companies”.
