More federal handouts after a disaster? Today's rescue could be tomorrow’s entitlement trap.

This bill says loud and clear: no survivor left behind, because health care is a right, not a privilege.

Disaster relief is essential, but this bill shortsightedly expands government overreach under the guise of care.

Disaster aid and healthcare combined? Smart move, but I'll keep my eye on how this impacts state budgets and practical rollout.

Supporting survivors is key, but balancing swift aid with accountability will be the real test of this legislation.

Disasters don't discriminate, so neither should our Medicaid—time to back survivors with real support, not bureaucratic runarounds.
