Republicans in Congress Want to Slash Health Care to Fund Tax Breaks for the Wealthiest Americans
Washington D.C. — House Republicans are preparing for a retreat this weekend to discuss a reconciliation bill that pushes their extreme priorities, including ripping away health care from millions of Americans. Trump and MAGA Republicans are plotting deep cuts to Medicaid in order to fund their outrageous tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. As a result, millions would lose coverage, including children, new moms, seniors, and people with disabilities.
In response, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
“Medicaid is on the chopping block. MAGA House Republicans are wasting no time as they plot to rip away health care from millions of Americans in order to fund tax breaks for their billionaire buddies. Trump and his GOP minions have made clear that they will put the richest one percent and big corporations ahead of everyday families. Their dangerous attacks on Medicaid are threatening a lifeline for over 75 million Americans, including kids, moms, seniors, people of color, rural Americans, and people with disabilities. We must do everything we can to protect affordable health care access and prevent MAGA Republicans from throwing our health care system into complete chaos.”
