***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR AUGUST 13, 2025***
Today, Protect Our Care is hosting events in New Hampshire and New York, headlined by Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY-12) and health care advocates, holding Republicans accountable for making the largest cut to health care in history. Speakers will discuss the fallout of these cuts and the devastation that their communities and families are now facing. Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans slashed more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, ripping away health care from more than 15 million Americans while raising costs on millions more just to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.
These draconian Republican cuts take critical revenue away from hospitals and clinics while forcing them to deal with the costs of more uncompensated care. As hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes cut services or shut down, people will lose jobs, local and state economies will suffer, and entire communities will be left without access to care, all so that Trump and Republicans can give more tax breaks to the rich.
