Video Description

On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 8:00 AM ET, the Democratic Doctors Caucus will host a press conference to call out Republican attempts to slash Medicaid funding by at least $880 billion. Approximately 80 million Americans, including 37 million children, get their health care coverage through Medicaid. The current Republican budget calls for historic cuts to Medicaid that would decimate the program, leaving countless Americans without the health care they need, and affect the broader health care system, causing longer wait times and reduced care in emergency rooms, increased health care costs, and the closure of nursing homes and hospitals.
