Republicans Vote Down Amendment To Stop Medicaid Cuts - Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock



Georgians have made their voices loud and clear: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

I’m speaking on the Senate floor to oppose the Washington Republican budget because it’s nothing more than Robin Hood in reverse.

It’s a moral imperative that we stop this bill from becoming law. - 04/05/2025.

Introduced in 1883, Accident Insurance Bill in 1884 and Old Age and Disability Bill in 1889.
I wondered about this so I looked it up..Wikipedia. There are 78 countries with universal or free healthcare systems and we ain’t one of em. So..why not?
