“We’re here in the 8th Congressional District, where roughly one in four residents relies on Medicaid, and yet Representative Gabe Evans not only voted for [Medicaid] cuts in HR 1, but has defended them and claims falsely that his vote did not cut Medicaid.
“Last year, Representative Gabe Evans, whose district we currently stand in, voted to cut taxes for the wealthiest individuals and corporations in the country,” Nutter told the booing crowd.
Representative Gabe Evans voted to give a tax cut to the 1% financed by cutting your health care.”
In a rousing speech, Rebecca Miller, a nurse, said she feels like Medicaid cuts are like cannonballs attacking her and making it difficult to provide care.
