Faiz Shakir, 老澳门开奖结果 national political director, issued the following statement:
鈥淏y slashing nearly a trillion dollars in funding for Medicaid, the American Health Care Act is nothing less than an assault on people with disabilities.
鈥淔or those who need care the most, Medicaid is more than an insurance plan 鈥� it鈥檚 an essential lifeline that empowers them to live on their own instead of in a nursing home or institution.
鈥淲ith people power on our side, we won鈥檛 rest in our work until the Senate puts this shameful bill to rest.鈥�
The rally will be held today at 11:30 a.m. at 1st St. and Constitution Ave., NE in Washington, DC.
