Energy and Commerce Democrats
Official account of the House Energy & Commerce Committee Democrats. Led by Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr.
- @ocasio-cortez.house.gov: Georgia has the THIRD HIGHEST number of uninsured Americans in the country, and Republicans want to model our Medicaid system after it.
- Cutting Medicaid by $715B and removing millions of Americans through red tape and copays = "morally bankrupt and politically suicidal" Don't just take it from @repgreglandsman.bsky.social—Republican Senator Josh Hawley said it too!
- Debating catastrophic Medicaid cuts for millions of Americans should not be happening in the middle of the night. Yet Republicans just rejected a motion by Ranking Member Pallone to recess until the morning—so our markup continues now while the nation sleeps.
- Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @repkimschrier.bsky.social break it down: Republican cuts to Medicaid will make people sicker, hospitals & nursing homes will close, health care costs will rise & nearly 14 million Americans lose their health coverage. Democrats are going to continue fighting 🔥
