Political Quotes

“Last month I traveled up and down my State to speak directly with Nevadans about how Washington Republicans and their devastating cuts to Medicaid are going to hurt our communities. From the University Medical Center in Las Vegas to Northern Nevada HOPES in Reno, I heard firsthand from medical providers about how worried they are about the cuts being made to their funding by the Republican budget law. According to a report, Nevada hospitals are set to lose up to a half a billion dollars from the Republican Big Beautiful Bill. At a time when our State is already facing a dire shortage of doctors and nurses, we are going to lose up to a half a billion dollars because of Washington Republicans' irresponsible bill. And remember, Washington Republicans did this so they could pay for even more tax breaks for billionaires. In Las Vegas, I met with doctors and leaders at the only level 1 trauma center in the entire State of Nevada. Our conversation made it clear: These Medicaid cuts will be devastating for the hospital's finances, and they will make patients less likely to seek preventative care, often waiting until it is too late. This will strain our hospital's resources even more and could have terrible consequences for individuals and their families.”
