Democratic Doctors Caucus Condemn Republican Cuts to Medicaid

May 14, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Democratic Doctors Caucus released the following statement on Republican attempts to strip health care from nearly 14 million Americans. “The goal of the Republican budget is clear: sacrifice the health and well-being of millions of Americans by slashing Medicaid and gutting food assistance, all to hand $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. “As doctors, we’ve seen firsthand what happens when patients lose coverage: missed appointments, skipped medications and preventable conditions left untreated. These cuts won’t just strain the system—they will cost lives. “These aren’t numbers on a spreadsheet—they represent real people, real suffering and real consequences. The Democratic Doctors Caucus will stop at nothing to prevent these reckless cuts and stand up for our communities. The American people deserve better.”
