***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR JULY 25, 2025***
Protect Our Care Continues Events in Pennsylvania and Virginia Holding Republicans Accountable for Devastating Vote to Cut Health Care.
Today, Protect Our Care is hosting events in Pennsylvania and Virginia, headlined by State Senator Creigh Deeds (D-VA-11) and health care advocates. Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans made the largest cut from health care funding in history to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. Speakers will discuss the fallout of these cuts and the devastation that their communities and families are now facing. By slashing more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, Congressional Republicans have ripped away health care from more than 15 million Americans while raising costs on millions more just to fund massive tax breaks for the nation’s wealthiest individuals and corporations. This Republican tax scam guts hospitals, nursing homes, and care facilities across the country of $665 billion in critical funding, putting countless at risk of cutting services or closing their doors. As these devastating cuts take effect, care will become more expensive and harder to access for every American, including low-income seniors, children, people fighting cancer or addiction, veterans, people with disabilities, and people who take care of their children or elderly parents.
