The new Republican budget reflects upside-down priorities. It protects special interest subsidies and tax breaks for those at the top, and cuts deep into the heart of the programs that are essential to the health of our seniors. The Republican budget ends Medicare as we know it -- and their plan to cut $1.4 trillion health care services through Medicaid would put an end to vital services that seniors depend on like nursing home care and home health aides. If Republicans get their way, Iowa residents would lose $8.4 billion in health benefits, and 114,691 could see their coverage cut entirely. Democrats are committed to reducing the deficit by eliminating wasteful subsidies and combating fraud and abuse in health care programs while protecting Medicaid and Medicare for seniors. |
