Budget Cuts Series 2021: Trump Cuts Medicare, Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance
Our Budget Cuts Series is unfortunately back for a fourth year and there's too much to cover from the disgusting fiscal year 2021 budget that Trump's cronies unveiled in mid-February 2020. This is part two in an series with an unknown amount of parts.

Budgets reflect priorities and we see right here what Republican and Trump priorities are. Believe them when they tell you.
Trump’s budget aims to cut spending on safety-net programs such as Medicaid.... It proposes to squeeze hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare over a decade....
The budget cuts Medicaid spending by about $920 billion over 10 years.... would lead to reductions in benefits and the number of people on the health care program.
It takes aim at domestic spending with.... cutting the budget of the Health and Human Services department by 9 percent.
