Former President Barack Obama warned Wednesday that more than 16 million Americans risk losing their health coverage as House Republicans struggle to advance President Donald Trump‘s sweeping tax and spending package that includes significant cuts to Medicaid funding.
What Happened: “More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act,” Obama said in a social media statement. “If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come.”
