Instead of working to lower everyday costs for families, Trump and Congressional Republicans are pushing a budget that slashes Medicaid funding by $880 billion – but gives corporations and the ultra-wealthy tax cuts to the tune of $4 trillion.
This is inexcusable. Maria voted against this harmful plan in the Senate, speaking out to shine a light on the GOP’s true allegiance: party and power, not the people.
Nearly 1 in 5 Americans nationwide rely on Medicaid for primary care, elder care, children’s health care, and more. That includes 1.8 million Washingtonians, with 47% of children in our state being covered by Medicaid.
Slashing Medicaid funding to pay for tax cuts for the ultra wealthy corporations will be disastrous and deadly.
We can’t stand by while the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans pull the rug out from under millions of Americans.
