Hakeem Jeffries, the Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, voiced strong opposition to significant proposed cuts to Medicaid during a press conference in Brooklyn. He declared these potential cuts could be the largest in American history, affecting over 80 million Americans, particularly vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Jeffries criticized the motivation behind these cuts, asserting they were being made to finance tax breaks for affluent individuals and corporations. His statements highlight a broader political struggle regarding healthcare and budget priorities within Congress.
If passed, the Medicaid cuts will affect more than 80 million U.S. adults and children...the proposed cuts were to make way for massive tax breaks for billionaire donors.
The budget cuts are an assault to vulnerable Americans who rely on the service for healthcare...cutting Medicaid will devastate families, especially children and older Americans.
