The budget bill passed by the US House of Representatives last week reduces Medicaid expenditures by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, disproportionately affecting the Latine community.

A trillion dollars in cuts is not a cut; stripping 10 million people of health insurance does not constitute shrinking the program.

"Our goal with Medicaid is not to cut it, but to limit its growth; we have a clear plan to cap its increases over the next few years."

President Trump falsely claimed that Medicaid is left the same by his proposed domestic policy bill, which actually includes significant funding cuts; this contradicts his statements.

"Republicans were counting on big cuts to Medicaid and other programs to offset trillions of dollars in Trump tax breaks, their top priority."
