Alliance for Retired Americans leader Richard Fiesta released the following statement regarding President Trump’s endorsement of the House Budget Resolution which will slash billions from Medicaid:
“Last night on a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, President Trump said that there would be ‘no cuts’ to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
“And then this morning he endorsed the billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts called for in the House Budget Resolution.
“In this case, two things CANNOT be true at the same time.
“Medicaid pays for six million Americans’ long-term care, making sure that the most vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities get the care they need in their home or in a nursing home. Cuts of this magnitude are cruel to those who need care and their families.
“It’s one thing to cut the health care older Americans and their families rely on. Lying to the American people about it adds insult to injury.
“Older Americans turn out to vote at the highest levels. Alliance members will make sure that all seniors know what President Trump is doing, not just what he’s saying on television.”
