Washington, D.C. — Today, President Trump told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting, “Don’t fuck around with Medicaid.” Trump’s comments were perfectly timed as Republicans are preparing to vote on the President’s pro-billionaire tax bill, which would:
- Kick 10 million people off Medicaid
- Leave more than 13.7 million people uninsured
- Cut Medicaid by more than $600 billion
“Working people have been speaking out and urging their members of Congress not to ‘fuck around with Medicaid’ for months now. Yet, Republicans in Congress continue to advance their plan to do just that.” said Unrig Our Economy spokesperson Kobie Christian. “With a floor vote on the horizon, will House Republicans fuck around with Medicaid to give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies? Or will they finally listen? All eyes are on them this week.”
