***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR WEDNESDAY JUNE 18TH AT 4 PM ET***
Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 4 pm ET, Governor Josh Green, M.D. (D-HI), will join Protect Our Care to discuss how the GOP scheme to impose work requirements will rip away health care from people who need it the most. Joining Protect Our Care and Gov. Green on the call is Kevin De Liban, a lawyer who successfully sued to stop Arkansas’ Medicaid work requirements program after thousands of people wrongfully lost their coverage.
Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their devastating tax scam that will kick millions off their health care in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. This week, Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee released bill text solidifying more than $1 trillion cuts from American health care, largely by imposing new, onerous Medicaid work reporting requirements on hard-working Americans. If Republicans get their way, 16 million Americans will lose life-saving coverage. Research shows that work reporting requirements are nothing more than bureaucratic red tape designed to throw people off their health care. As a result, millions of sick children, people with disabilities, and seniors are at risk of losing lifesaving coverage.
