This weekend, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a town hall in New Orleans, LA, to rally opposition to the GOP’s spending bill. The bill delivers the largest cuts to health care in our nation’s history, slashing Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to fund massive tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations. As a result, 17 million Americans will lose coverage and millions of middle- and low-income families will face higher costs, all so Republicans could make the ultra-wealthy even richer. In Louisiana and across the country, rural hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes are now at risk of shutting down, leaving entire communities without care while causing layoffs, longer emergency room wait times, and weaker local economies. Republicans are leaving whole communities behind in their pursuit to line the pockets of big corporations and the ultra-rich. Leader Jeffries just made it clear: Protect Our Care and House Democrats are committed to exposing the truth about this bill and holding Republicans accountable for putting billionaire tax cuts ahead of working families’ health and security.
