Unbelievable. Latest update from the nonpartisan budget office says the Senate Republican bill now cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.

The more Americans learn about Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, the more they hate it. We’re forcing GOP to read the bill in its entirety, so Americans get the facts. You can tune in to CSPAN now to see this bill exposed for what it is: a giveaway to special interests at your expense.

The bill Senate Republicans just advanced cuts an estimated $930 billion from Medicaid. It will take away health care from working people and low-income Americans in order to give special tax treatment to billionaires and corporations.

Yikes! The Senate bill borrows almost $1 Trillion more than the House bill and reportedly explodes the cost to $3.9 Trillion! And it STILL cuts Medicaid by almost $1 Trillion!

The GOP’s fiscally irresponsible bill will force taxpayers to shell out $690 Billion just to cover debt interest payments while cutting critical services & shortchanging working Americans.

Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people in two years, three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of medicaid because the funding's not there anymore, guys? The people in the White House advising the president, they're not telling him that the effect

As votearama continues, Democrats are united and fighting to protect workers, responsibly cut taxes for the middle-class, and save Medicaid from destructive cuts.

Here's what Trump-Republicans won't tell you: They could easily give you a tax break without decimating Medicaid & exploding the debt. But then those making over $4 Million a year wouldn't get a $390,000 tax cut. They're choosing the wealthy over a balanced, responsible plan.

Democrats want to protect Medicaid, Republicans are voting to cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid. Experts say the GOP budget puts 579 nursing homes nationwide at risk of closure. My amendment would prevent Medicaid cuts that lead to nursing home closures. Republicans rejected it.

Budgets are about priorities. Ensuring Americans can access food & health care is more important than giving special tax treatment to billionaires & corporations. Trump-Republicans Big Ugly Bill reduces SNAP & Medicaid while increasing hunger & exploding the national debt.
