House Energy and Commerce Committee Statement
“President Trump’s 2021 budget is an extreme and drastic step in the wrong direction. It continues the President’s ongoing assault on the health care of millions of seniors and hardworking American families, while also gutting environmental protection when we should be combating the climate crisis.
“The President’s vision for health care involves nearly a trillion dollars in funding cuts that will take away health care from working families struggling to make ends meet. Earlier this month, the Trump Administration unveiled an illegal scheme to block grant Medicaid and now they are doubling down with $920 billion in funding cuts to one of our most crucial safety net programs. This misguided budget also includes more than $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, putting health care for our seniors at risk.
