Trump is coming for Social Security. And he has a new ‘Big Lie’ to justify it.

House GOP narrowly passes Trump budget blueprint that threatens Medicaid

Republicans IGNORED Thousands of calls from constituents, voting to cut $880 Billion from Medicaid to pass the budget blueprint for Trump’s agenda on Tuesday night. Only 2 Republicans voted with Democrats against these cuts. The Republican House budget resolution would cost congressional districts an average of $2 billion each and could eliminate coverage for 15.9 million people. Rep. Joe Neguse joins to discuss.

 

Per the above article; “The Republican House budget resolution currently under consideration instructs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to cut at least $880 billion in costs through 2034. Based on previous proposals from House Budget Committee Republican leadership, these cuts are widely anticipated to come from the Medicaid program. Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) cover essential, lifesaving health care for nearly 1 in 4 Americans—including low-income individuals and families; pregnant women; seniors; and people with disabilities. For the nearly 80 million people* covered by Medicaid or CHIP, those programs mean being able to see a doctor when they are sick; obtain the medication that they need; or afford home-based care or nursing home services near the end of life”.
