The Pennsylvania governor said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” he hopes Congress revitalizes Medicaid and SNAP programs next term.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he hopes Democrats prioritize healthcare and food assistance when they take control of Congress in January, though he urged them not to forget to hold the Trump administration accountable.
“I hope one of the first things that the Congress does is to stop these Medicaid cuts, stop the SNAP cuts, roll back the cuts, the effective cuts in the Affordable Care Act,” Shapiro said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday.
Shapiro said that in Pennsylvania alone, 510,000 people are losing healthcare and 143,000 more are losing SNAP or food assistance because of cuts approved during Donald Trump’s second term.
While he stressed the importance of revitalizing Medicaid and SNAP programs, Shapiro also said Democrats shouldn’t forget to hold the Trump administration accountable.
Yeah. Don’t forget again lol like you did after the coup attempt. He’s going to put a postit on the calendar.
Never mind the people in cages, the empty oil reserves and the ticking time bomb in the middle east. They can wait. Lets get some tax rebates on food won’t be delivered to anyone because diesel will $20 a gallon by the time they’re passed.
To quote him directly: “You gotta be able to walk and chew gum at the same time”.
