ICYMI: Republican Budget Demands Largest Medicaid Cuts in American History
Budget Committee Democrats Release New Fact Sheet on Republican Medicaid Cuts
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, as House Democrats begin a nationwide day of action defending Medicaid, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle, Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released a new fact sheet detailing how the Republican budget demands massive cuts to Medicaid. The fact sheet is based on nonpartisan analysis from the Congressional Budget Office requested by Ranking Member Boyle, which proved that Republicans were lying about the Medicaid cuts in their budget.
“Trump promised to ‘love and cherish’ Medicaid. And we all know what happens when Donald Trump promises to ‘love and cherish’ anything or anyone,” said Ranking Member Boyle. “At my request, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that it is impossible for Republicans to meet their budget’s targets without massive cuts to Medicaid. They lied about their agenda, they lied about who they’re fighting for, and they lied about this budget. Their budget is a devastating betrayal of the middle class — all in service of massive giveaways to billionaire donors — and House Democrats will continue to fight back.”
