Jeffries Condemns GOP Budget for Historic Medicaid Cuts

In a narrow 217-215 vote, House Republicans have advanced a budget resolution that proposes $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next decade. This move has drawn sharp criticism from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who asserts that the budget "represents the largest Medicaid cut in American history." Jeffries emphasizes the devastating impact these cuts would have on children, families, individuals with disabilities, and seniors, as well as on hospitals and nursing homes nationwide.

The GOP-backed budget aims to extend $4.5 trillion in tax. . .
