WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRN) — In Washington, Senate Democrats raise alarm bells over cuts to Medicaid.
After vowing earlier this week that he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, President Donald Trump on Wednesday indicated he’s on board with a House Republican budget resolution that calls for $880 billion in cuts to the program.
“They’re going to be digging deep. They’re going to ask the most vulnerable Americans to pay and sacrifice so that Elon Musk and Donald Trump and their like, their ilk, can get massive tax cuts. And that should not stand,” said Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin.
Baldwin warned that cuts to the program that provides health insurance for low-income Americans “will not be painless,” and will fall especially hard on rural Wisconsin.
