In short, the hiring decisions that President-elect Trump is making tell us about the values of the incoming Trump Administration.
If Medicaid hadn't been available to you--if there had been a trillion dollar cut to Medicaid, what would have happened to you and your husband?
Where else is it we so much need to spend $449 billion that you can spend more out of pocket so that money can go somewhere else--like tax cuts for rich people.
The decisions that he makes will have tremendous consequences on the lives of everyone in this country.
I suggested yesterday to Congressman Price that if he is confirmed to be the head of HHS, that he cut out the statement of Donald Trump, 'I will not cut Medicare or Medicaid,' and tape it above his desk and look at it every single day.
when Congressman Price proposes cutting $449 billion out of the Medicare system, I just want to ask, that's going to put more out-of-pocket costs on you. Does that sound fair to you?
He's already proposed $449 billion in cuts to Medicare and over $1 trillion in cuts to the Medicaid program.
As Senator Sanders has quoted extensively, President-elect Trump said I am not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.
I supported this change because the research shows that it really means you get better care at lower prices.
I have serious concerns about your understanding of women's needs for basic health care like birth control.

You might want to print out President-elect Trump's statement, 'I am not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid,' and post that above your desk.
Because you decide not to tell them, wink, wink, nod, nod, and we're supposed to believe that? Did you take additional actions after that date to advance your plan to help the company that you now own stock in?
Did you buy the stock and then introduce a bill that would be helpful to the companies you just bought stock in?
Your fiscal year 2017 budget proposal also would have cut Medicaid funding that goes to the State governments by more than $1 trillion.
Can you guarantee to this committee that you will safeguard President-elect Trump's promise and while you are HHS Secretary you will not use your administrative authority to carry out a single dollar of cuts to Medicare or Medicaid…
I understand why you think you're right to cut it. I'm just asking the question, did you propose to cut more than $1 trillion out of Medicaid over the next 10 years?
