............................
Members of the group ADAPT, which organizes disability rights activists, were protesting against the American Health Care Act currently being debated in Congress and proposed cuts to Medicaid.
..........................
Trumpcare will cut $880 billion from Medicaid in the next decade. It will force states to have to decide whether to provide healthcare to the elderly in nursing homes, to children, or to the disabled. That's exactly what Paul Ryan wanted to happen.
Taking that almost $900 billion out of Medicaid now gives him the chance to give even deeper tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations in the tax legislation he has coming up next.
He says thatloud and clear: "And so yes, it is important that we get this [the health plan] done so that we can do tax reform. Because this bill also takes out about $900 billion in tax increases, the Obamacare tax increases are taken out which makes it $900 billion easier to reform the tax code afterwards ... Thats why this is really important.".....................................
