House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on Democrats’ Medicaid Day of Action: 

“Across the country Democrats are leading the fight to oppose the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

Our National Day of Action to Protect Medicaid will push back against the extreme Republican budget that they are trying to jam down the throats of the American people.

At events in communities throughout the country, everyday Americans will speak out against the Republican scheme to rip away healthcare from children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.

Democrats stand on the side of the American people. Republicans are doing the bidding of their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations. We are in this fight until we win this fight.”
