Protect Our Care supporters are displaying a “Hands Off Medicaid” message in front of the White House ahead of President Trump’s address to Congress, signaling opposition to the Republican budget that would slash Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to rip away health care from millions of families to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. This display is part of Protect Our Care’s $10 million “Hands Off Medicaid” campaign exposing the choice between protecting Medicaid or giving away new tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
Medicaid is an essential pillar of our health care system with over 70 million Americans currently covered through the program. The GOP budget would have a devastating impact on the most vulnerable Americans, including low-income seniors, children, veterans, people with serious disabilities, and people who take care of their children or elderly parents.
