Schumer Criticizes Trump Budget, Cites Medicaid Cuts

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has sharply criticized President Donald Trump's proposed budget, highlighting concerns about significant cuts to Medicaid. Schumer argues that these cuts would have a detrimental effect on senior citizens and other vulnerable populations who rely on the program for healthcare. He specifically warned Republican senators that supporting the budget could have negative consequences for their political careers.

Schumer stated that the proposed changes to Medicaid would create significant hardship for many Americans, particularly the elderly and those with disabilities. He characterized the budget as the "We Are All Going to Die Act," emphasizing the potential severity of the impact on healthcare access. The senator's remarks signal a contentious debate ahead as the budget moves through Congress. The proposed budget and its impact on social programs like Medicaid are expected to be a major point of contention between Democrats and Republicans in the coming months.
