Members stevenkesslar Posted February 20 Members Posted February 20 Republicans in Hispanic-heavy districts push Johnson not to slash Medicaid or SNAP Quote In the letter, the lawmakers wrote that nearly 30 percent of those enrolled in Medicaid are Hispanic and the health care program is “expected to bear the brunt of these reductions” with a proposed $880 billion in cuts under the Energy and Commerce Committee. The lawmakers noted: “for many families across the country, Medicaid is their only access to healthcare.” Quote “Slashing Medicaid would have serious consequences, particularly in rural and predominantly Hispanic communities where hospitals and nursing homes are already struggling to keep their doors open,” the lawmakers added. I mean, what could more more important than tax cuts for Elon Musk, billions of federal dollars for Elon Musk, and gutting federal consumer protections and safety standards? I dunno. Maybe being abusive to your queer daughter? Quote
