Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Donald Trump promised to love and cherish Medicaid. Instead, his One Big Ugly Bill represents the largest healthcare cut in our country’s history. Millions of people will lose their Medicaid coverage and hardworking American taxpayers will be forced to pay higher premiums, copays and deductibles. 

President Trump promised to lower the high cost of living in America. He has failed. Costs aren’t going down, they are going up. The GOP Tax Scam will make life more expensive for everyday Americans and it’s his toxic legislation that represents the ultimate betrayal.
