The cartoon adapts the Gadsden flag by replacing the snake's typical staff with a medical caduceus split into Medi and Caid wings. A red cap tops the snake, which coils around a blue-and-yellow pole on green grass. Large text at the bottom declares Don't Cover Me. The image responds to ongoing discussions about Medicaid reductions and their effects on rural hospitals and healthcare access. The visual ties the liberty symbol to coverage concerns under proposed legislation.

The July 2025 cartoon by Bob Englehart portrays two Democratic figures inside a bomb labeled 'Big Beautiful Bill.' The device features a control panel and emits ticking sounds. A speech bubble states the pair has three years to disarm the worst of it. The image references the Republican economic package and Medicaid provisions passed earlier in the year. Englehart uses the time bomb metaphor to highlight concerns over the legislation's long-term effects.
