(Rochester, N.Y.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement after House Republicans passed a devastating reconciliation package slashing healthcare, food assistance, and other essential federal programs:
“President Trump and House Republicans passed a budget proposal that slashes Medicaid, Medicare, and nutrition assistance programs by over a trillion dollars and will eliminate health insurance coverage for 13 million Americans.
“The bill also saddles American taxpayers with $5 trillion in new debt.
“All to pay for the largest tax cut for millionaires and billionaires in our nation’s history.
“This is cruel, irresponsible, and un-American. I will do everything I can to fight to stop it.”
