House Republicans Passed Their Extreme Bill, Slashing Medicaid and SNAP to Fund Tax Cuts for Billionaires
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after House Republicans passed the extreme tax spending bill that strips health care coverage and food assistance from millions of Americans in order to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
“This extreme and cruel bill will rip away health care coverage from more than 114,000 Nevadans, cut food assistance from families that need it most, and kill good-paying clean energy jobs in our state just so Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans can give billionaires more tax cuts,” said Senator Rosen. “I’m particularly appalled that this monstrosity of a bill will gut funding for rural hospitals across the nation, including in Nevada. This is one of the worst betrayals of working families in favor of the ultra-wealthy in generations — and we won’t forget it.”
