Stealing funds from health care to pay for Trump’s wall – dlcc.org


Trump’s 2020 budget proposal was released, and it is grim. With these drastic cuts, we know exactly where he stands.

Here are just a few of the things Trump wants to slash to grab billions – or hundreds of billions – of dollars from:
• Medicaid
• Medicare
• Social Security
• SNAP Assistance
• Science education
• Cancer research
• Federal workers’ retirement benefits
• Environmental protections

  • Special Olympics

 

That’s right, Trump’s budget cuts $845 billion from Medicare, but it gives almost $9 billion to border wall funding.

Democrats in the states are doing all they can to resist Trump’s outrageous, punitive budget cuts and protect those who are most vulnerable, but they’re counting on us to have their backs.

Thank you for taking action,

he just won’t stop [ACA sabotage] It’s two years later and …

 

President Trump’s attacks on health care didn’t stop when Republicans failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

This week, Trump intends to go at it alone by issuing an executive order that would undermine and weaken the ACA.

Reports say it will:

  • DESTABILIZE our health care system;
  • INCREASE premiums for millions;
  • GUT protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions;
  • EMPOWER insurers to charge more for less care

This is just the latest White House plot to sabotage the Affordable Care Act:

  • He’s prevented states from implementing plans to drive down premiums;
  • His Administration slashed grants that help marginalized individuals access coverage;
  • And, his Administration still refuses to commit to cost-sharing subsidies, creating uncertainty and increasing premiums throughout the country.

We have a duty to stabilize the insurance markets and ensure that Americans can access quality care. Give what you can and stand up against Trump’s continued sabotage.

We can’t let up,

Nancy
