Duckworth on GOP’s Attempts to Gut Medicaid: They Don’t Care About Making America Healthy—They Care About Tipping It Even More in Favor of the Wealthy

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) joined Caring Across Generations’ 24-hour Capitol Hill vigil to call out Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their dangerous, heartless, relentless attempts to slash Medicaid funding. Duckworth spoke passionately about the millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid—Americans including pregnant women, children with disabilities as well as people in nursing homes—and demanded that Republicans put their constituents’ lives ahead of Trump’s ego by working with Democrats to save the program.
