***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR MAY 29***
Protect Our Care Holds Events In New York, South Dakota, and Wisconsin
Today, Protect Our Care is hosting events in Wisconsin, New York, and South Dakota, headlined by the U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY-10) to discuss how Republicans are advancing their unpopular spending bill that slashes funding for Americans’ health care in order to hand out tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
This bill includes the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, and it dismantles the Affordable Care Act. If the Senate approves this bill, costs will skyrocket and more than 13 million Americans will lose health care coverage. Speakers will address the urgent need for Senators to put people over politics and reject the House spending bill.
