Warren: GOP Cuts Are ‘Blood Money’; They Are ‘Paying for Tax Cuts for the Wealthy with American Lives’

‘So Senate Republicans had to make a choice, how to pay for all those juicy tax cuts for their rich buddies’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

WARREN: "The Republican bill claims to protect kids with disabilities by leaving them out of the calculations that decide how big the Medicaid cuts will be in each state. I don’t know if the Republicans were expecting a round of applause for pitting kids with breathing tubes against vulnerable seniors or someone needing treatment for addiction, but I do know this so-called exemption won’t do a thing to help these kids. The Republican cuts still slash hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, leaving states with no choice, no choice but to cut services that kids will disabilities desperately need. Medicaid is the program in this country that provides health insurance to one in five Americans, to 30 million kids, to nearly two out of every three people in a nursing home. These cuts are blood money. People will die. Let’s be very clear. Senate Republicans are paying for tax cuts for the wealthy with American lives. Just think about what would happen here if the Republican bill becomes law next week."
