Washington D.C.— New reporting indicates that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are planning to make deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in order to fund their outrageous tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. In response, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
“Trump is more interested in taking care of his billionaire friends like Elon Musk than health care for over 75 million Americans. This is the dangerous MAGA agenda on full display. Trump and his GOP minions are not wasting any time ripping away Medicaid from millions of Americans — all so they can cash in more tax breaks for the richest one percent and big corporations. As a result, millions of people would lose their health care and costs would go up across the board. Let’s be clear: Medicaid is a lifeline that covers one in four Americans, including kids, moms, seniors, people of color, rural Americans, and people with disabilities. It is unfathomable that MAGA Republicans continue to put growing the wealth of a few over the livelihood and well-being of millions. We cannot let them rip away our health care.”
