Barbara Boxer: “Medicaid serves many of our citizens in nursing homes and serves millions of disabled children who are in wheelchairs…”

“Medicaid serves many of our citizens in nursing homes and serves millions of disabled children who are in wheelchairs, and millions of our working families. This budget hurts those people. We would add back $18 billion, bringing Medicaid up to the President's level. It is still below the Breaux-Chafee level. If you vote for Breaux-Chafee, you should vote for this. If you voted for the President's budget, you should vote for this. We hope you will support this. We pay for it by closing corporate tax loopholes.”
