House GOP budget proposal seeks significant spending cuts, especially to Medicaid. Delaware lawmakers, including Senators Coons and Blunt Rochester, and Congresswoman McBride, believe these cuts are being made to finance permanent tax cuts for the wealthy. Delaware receives billions of federal Medicaid funding, with about 250,000 residents benefiting from the program. Cuts could result in a loss of $200 million for the state and reduced access to healthcare services. Advocates like Rosa Rivera from La Red Health Center warn of the impact on vulnerable communities who rely on Medicaid for essential care. McBride urges the public to pressure Congress to reject these cuts, emphasizing the importance of democracy and holding elected officials accountable. Delawareans are encouraged to mobilize and contact their representatives to prevent harmful reductions to Medicaid funding.
