YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis was one of the most powerful Senate floor speeches we’ve seen in the fight over healthcare. Senator Dick Durbin tore into Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful budget” — exposing just how devastating it would be for working families.
Trump’s plan slashes $1 trillion from Medicaid, a program that millions of Americans rely on for nursing home care, children’s health coverage, and life-saving treatment. It strips health insurance from 15 million Americans, puts rural hospitals at risk of closure, and threatens families everywhere with skyrocketing premiums.
And that’s not all. The Trump budget cuts $18 billion from medical research every year, rolling back decades of progress at the NIH. Research into cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and other deadly illnesses would be gutted — robbing families of hope at the very moment they need it most.
Durbin called these cuts what they are: heartless. This isn’t about numbers on a page — it’s about whether families can count on healthcare when they need it most.
Do you think healthcare should be treated as a basic American right, or gutted to bankroll tax breaks for the wealthy?
