Governor Kathy Hochul and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries alerted New Yorkers to the grave threats posed by President Trump's 'One Big Ugly Bill,' highlighting projected losses of nearly $13.5 billion in annual funding for healthcare. Hochul criticized Republicans for attempting to dismantle vital social programs, particularly Medicaid and food assistance. Jeffries underscored the bill's potential to strip health insurance away from 1.5 million New Yorkers, leading to closures of nursing homes and hospitals, and loss of community health funds, framing it as a severe threat to public health and safety.
Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized that the Republican bill threatens essential programs, stating, "Republicans in Washington have made it abundantly clear that they are determined to dismantle the social safety net that millions of New Yorkers rely on to secure their basic necessities."
Hakeem Jeffries warned of dire consequences, declaring, "Nursing homes will close, hospitals will shut down and community health centers will lose funding," criticizing Republicans for undermining healthcare access.
