Rod Stewart, who has lived in the US for 40 years and raised children here (what is Kimberly Stewart up to these days), saw a news story about disabled kids who didn't have the money to fly to DC to protest. He wrote a $30,000 check to Trach Mommas, a disabilities advocacy group, so the children could fly out to DC and fight for their rights. Versions of the proposed healthcare bill have proposed huge cuts to Medicaid. Such cuts would inevitably harm disabled and special needs kids because they would lose access to health and developmental services.
Rod Stewart issued a statement:
"Some of you may know that I live in America and pay my taxes here. I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but I am a father."
