One in three CT residents use Medicaid
In Connecticut, one in one person depends on the federal funding program.
One therapist and a social worker said, “This is my sister Lilly. Today is her 33rd birthday.” She lived in a mid -term treatment facility, a nursing home for young people with disabilities.
The state leaders warned that if the Congress approves the Medicide cut, both nursing homes and other important services will have difficulty.
Susan bysiewicz Governor said, “It means to remove important health care scope from pregnant women, the elderly and nursing homes and the disabled.
The opposition, supporting President Trump, stopped the rally and shouted “Steal.” But the police said the event was maintained peace.
Expenses reduction and tax reduction
Trump campaigned with a deep cut of federal expenses. The White House wants to cut up to $ 2 trillion in federal expenses over the next decade.
Trump said on Friday, “We offer the best benefits provided by this country.” “The biggest part of them is tax reduction in the middle class.”
In order to achieve this tremendous savings, the US House of Representatives requires the Energy and Commercial Commission to reduce $ 880 million. According to parliamentary budget office analysis, deep cuts for Medicaid are required.
Some Medicaid winners support the president’s plan.
William Tenteler, who receives home care, said, “If the former administration would have done what they had to do, we would not be in the current situation.”
But critics think that Medicaid cuts can actually pay more. This is because state and local taxes must pay for important programs.
Joe Courtney (D-NEW London) spokesman said, “The opioid program, which deals with addiction and overdose and pentanil’s scourte paper, is covered by Medicaid.
Connecticut’s Medicide is already overwhelmed. Lamont said next week’s budget cannot absorb Washington’s main cuts.
“Hey Washington, can you listen to us? Donald Trump, can you listen to us? This is a heartford sound.” “We’ve come to fight for Medicare. To fight for your health care here.”
What is the following?
The Democratic Party has no votes to prevent Medicaid cuts, but public opinion can shake the Republic of Congress.
