Republicans want to push through huge cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

House GOP Set to Cut Critical Health Care and Food Assistance Programs 

With Donald Trump’s blessing, House Republicans are pushing a budget that includes one of the largest cuts to health care and food assistance in American history — showing once more that the GOP’s priority will always be Trump’s billionaire backers, not working families.

• Medicaid and SNAP are vital programs that millions of Americans rely on for quality, affordable health care and to put food on the table. Republicans need to wake up and realize that they can’t drastically cut those programs without consequences. It is their vote or their seat.

• Republicans can try to spin this all they want — this is not a moderate bill. 

• According to the CBO, Republicans’ reconciliation package will cut health care spending by $715 billion over a decade. All in all, the GOP bill will result in nearly 14 million Americans going uninsured.

• Hospitals will close, seniors will not be able to get the care they need, and premiums will skyrocket for everyday families.

• Trump is showing us whose side he’s on: He’s not fighting for children, parents, seniors in nursing homes, or people with disabilities – he’s gutting programs Americans rely on to give handouts to the ultra wealthy. 

• Only four Republicans need to grow a spine and join Democrats to protect these critical programs. If they don’t, they’ll face the consequences in the midterms.
