Healthcare workers and supporters gathered in Anaheim Hills to protest potential cuts to Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, expressing their concerns over the impact on low-income individuals. Amidst the demonstration outside Congresswoman Young Kim's office, protestors, including striking healthcare workers, urged the government to consider cuts to wealthier individuals instead. They voiced their apprehension about President Trump's budget proposals which may inevitably lead to Medicaid cuts despite his reassurances against such actions. Representatives from healthcare advocacy groups led the rally, emphasizing the need for strong support for the healthcare system and its most vulnerable constituents.
"Cut these billionaires; go cut them off. Medi-Cal cuts affect real lives, human beings that need care." - Cynthia Williams, local resident at the protest.
"Although Trump has said he wouldn't support cutting Medicaid, the Congressional Budget Office has said it would be impossible to achieve his promised savings without cutting such programs."
"She is committed to protecting and strengthening our healthcare system, including vital Medicaid services for our most vulnerable." - Callie Strock, representative for Young Kim.
