DGA Statement on House Republicans Pushing to Enact Massive Health Care and Food Assistance Cuts

DGA Communications Director Sam Newton released the following statement in response to House Republicans on the Energy and Commerce and Agriculture committees cutting Medicaid and SNAP programs:

“Yesterday, House Republicans greenlit a disastrous and deeply unpopular budget proposal that will rip Medicaid and SNAP away from millions of Americans – all to pay for massive tax handouts for the ultra-wealthy.

“This GOP spending bill will jack up prices, kick nearly 14 million people off their health insurance, and make it harder for families to put food on the table – threatening essential safety nets that children, seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans rely on.

“Voting to pass this extreme budget is not only cruel and out-of-touch but will cause major problems for House Republicans running for governor. Between now and next November, we will ensure that toxic Republicans can’t hide from their extreme, partisan voting records as they run to bring the chaos and dysfunction of D.C. to their states.”
