Dear Friend,

Earlier this week, I voted No to the Republican budget resolution that could take away healthcare and prescription drug benefits from millions of seniors and families. House Republicans have made it clear that they do not stand with our seniors who rely on Medicaid and Medicare to be able to afford healthcare and life-saving prescriptions. Taking away Medicaid from seniors and families will force providers to raise costs for everyone to make up for the increase in uncompensated care they provide to uninsured people. Our seniors and families deserve better, and I will continue to fight back against these devastating cuts.

South Jersey families are feeling the impact of rising prices under the Trump Administration. Instead of offering stability, President Trump and Elon Musk are fueling fear, chaos, and uncertainty—leaving working families behind.

Standing up for Working Families

Rep. Norcross stands in solidarity with House Democrats and Americans who would be impacted by Medicaid cuts in protest of the House Republican budget.

While the Republican budget would take away healthcare for our seniors it will give the wealthiest Americans and big corporations $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. This is unacceptable. 

Some of the biggest cuts likely to come from the Republican's budget resolution would be to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). 72 million Americans receive healthcare through Medicaid which covers everything from childbirth to nursing home care. The Affordable Care Act delivers lower healthcare prices and expands coverage to tens of millions of Americans, and SNAP helps provide food to over 40 million children, seniors, veterans, and working parents. 

• 164,843 people on Medicaid are at risk of losing their healthcare including 68,724 children and 16,000 seniors.
• 97,000 people count on SNAP to put food on the table. 
• 28,000 people who receive coverage under the Affordable Care Act could see their average premium go up by $1,440 per year, that’s a 62% increase. 
  • Many families would face even steeper consequences.
  • Example of the impact cuts to the Affordable Care Act could have: A 60-year-old couple with a household income of $85,000 in NJ-01 would see their health insurance costs increase by $15,702 per year — a 217% increase in premiums.
