Democrats face mounting pressure to restore over $500 billion in Medicare funding slashed by previous legislation if they regain control of Congress.
If and when Democrats take back control of Congress this November, the list of things they need to do is very, very, very long — but at the top of that list needs to be restoring critical funding for Medicare that was axed by Trump’s "Big Awful Bill That Kills People."
Under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act, Trump's "Big Awful Bill That Kills People" will cut $536 BILLION — yes, more than half a trillion dollars — from Medicare over the next ten years.
Hundreds of hospitals are at risk of closing and millions of Americans could lose their healthcare, all to pay for tax cuts for the megawealthy and Trump’s corporate cronies.
