California Democrat wants to fix the looming health crisis. GOP is quiet
About 4 million Californians are about to lose their Medicaid coverage, another 1.7 million Covered California enrollees will see a premium increase of 66% because of expiring tax credits. On top of that, 70 hospitals are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy because of the One,Big, Beautiful Bill.
And what are Republicans in Congress doing to keep us from going over a healthcare cliff? Nothing.
House Speaker Mike Johnson sent representatives home until Oct. 6.
President Donald Trump - facing unpopularity with his tax-cut and spending bill - hopes to gain support by changing the name of the bill, rather than addressing the real reason for the public's cold shoulder.
HR 4849, by Merced Democrat Adam Gray, would restore Medicaid funding but the GOP is not supporting Gray's bill.
