The President's own statements contradict his endorsement of the House Republican budget plan that could lead to massive cuts to Medicaid. During an interview, he explicitly stated that Medicaid would not be touched, yet hours later endorsed a proposal that could slash billions from the program that provides healthcare coverage to over 70 million low-income and disabled Americans. This plan risks reducing services or requiring states to find alternative funding sources, directly impacting millions who rely on Medicaid. I urge you to reject any budget proposals that undermine a vital healthcare program the President himself vowed to protect. Medicaid must be preserved without cuts to ensure access to essential medical care for our most vulnerable citizens.
