LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) hosted a town hall tonight to discuss Republican attacks on Medicaid and take questions on the impact these cuts will have on New Jersey. McIver was joined by a panel of local health experts and advocates from across the district. This was McIver’s first in-person town hall—and third town hall overall—since taking office. More than 200 constituents attended. “Republicans voted to make cuts to Medicaid, but we will keep mobilizing and showing them New Jersey does not want cuts to critical services,” said Rep. McIver. “We still hold the power—our voices are still the power and we are powerful when we apply pressure. Here in New Jersey alone, we have three Republicans who aren’t standing up against these attacks on Medicaid. Call them and apply pressure, because they still have to come home to New Jersey and face the people whose care they’ve cut.” McIver was joined by Cathy Chin, executive director of the Alliance for the Betterment of Citizens with Disabilities, Dr. Jason Elliston, provider with Metropolitan Federal Health Network Jersey City, and Cathy Tamburello, Medicaid advocate and caregiver. Republicans in Congress voted to pass a budget earlier this month that sets the stage for $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid. McIver voted against the House Republican budget resolution. In NJ-10 alone, these cuts would threaten Medicaid coverage for over 200,000 of NJ-10 residents. McIver represents New Jersey’s 10 th Congressional District. She is the first Black woman to represent NJ-10 and the youngest ever to be elected to the United States House of Representatives from New Jersey. She is a member of the House Small Business and Homeland Security Committees. ### Print Email Share Previous Article Next Article About Contact Media Issues Services
