Over 6.9 million New Yorkers rely on Medicaid as their health insurance. House Republicans voted to rip away Medicaid coverage by cutting over $880 billion in its funding that will affect our most vulnerable communities.
In return, Republicans are giving away handouts to the wealthy 1% with over $4 trillion in tax cuts that only benefit billionaires and mega-corporations.
People’s lives should not be a negotiating tactic, and the fight to protect Medicaid is far from over. We need to keep speaking out and making our voices heard, fighting for working families who will suffer if the Medicaid cuts go through.
We need to keep the pressure campaign against Republicans going, highlighting the stories of those affected by these proposed cuts, and holding Republicans accountable for their horrendous proposals.
