CUTS TO MEDICARE AND MEDICAID
(Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I recently met with a group of
advocates for children with complex medical needs and disabilities.
They all shared stories of their kids with special needs or that they
were simply allies.
Their vision is that all children with these complex needs should
have the medical care, education, and support they need to thrive.
However, this vision will never be achieved by slashing the coverage of
children on Medicaid or firing NIH scientists who are responsible for
developing treatments and cures for rare diseases.
The plan to severely cut Medicaid and gut NIH funding is a serious
threat to the health and stability of so many families across the
country like the ones I met with last week. I will continue to fight
with these kids for the care that they deserve.
