DeGette Blasts Passage of Republicans’ Plan to Gut Medicaid
February 25, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01) released the following statement after the House passed the Republicans’ budget scam.
“House Republicans are lying to the American people. Although they claim they won’t touch Medicaid, they can’t pay for their tax giveaways to billionaires and corporations without deep cuts. They have directed my committee, the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over Medicaid, to cut $880 billion. These cuts can only come at the expense of our seniors, kids, and most vulnerable.
“When this bill comes to my committee, I will fight to expose the danger these cuts pose to my constituents and all Americans. House Democrats will stand united against these extreme cuts.”
