*** MEDIA ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY FEBRUARY 20 AT 12 PM ET***
Republicans Want to Rip Away Health Care from Millions to Fund Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
This Thursday, February 20 at 12 PM ET, Democratic governors from across the country will join Protect Our Care for an in-person press conference in Washington D.C. During the conference, the governors will speak on how Medicaid is a lifeline in their states and the devastation that would result if Republicans are successful in taking away Medicaid from millions across the country.
Recent reporting shows congressional Republicans intend to slash Medicaid funding by at least $880 billion and up to $2 trillion to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy and big corporations, resulting in millions losing coverage, including children, new moms, seniors, and people with disabilities. Americans across party lines oppose cuts to Medicaid, and new polling finds that a majority of Americans think the government should spend more on health care — not less.
