CONGRESSMAN PAT RYAN VOTES AGAINST REPUBLICAN BILL THAT DRIVES UP COSTS AND TAKES HEALTHCARE FROM HUDSON VALLEY FAMILIES IN EXCHANGE FOR RECORD BREAKING TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES

Congressman Pat Ryan Votes Against Republican Bill That Drives Up Costs and Takes Healthcare From Hudson Valley Families in Exchange for Record Breaking Tax Cuts for Billionaires  

Trump's budget, which passed without a single Democratic vote, proposes over a trillion dollars in cuts to essential programs Hudson Valley families rely on, including Medicaid and food assistance (SNAP)

It will have devastating impacts for families across the Hudson Valley: driving up food and healthcare costs for everyone, ripping away health insurance and food assistance from kids and seniors, and pushing hospitals to the brink of closure 

Additionally, the budget STILL increases the national debt by over 5 trillion dollars

WASHINGTON, DC  –  Today, Congressman Pat Ryan released the following statement: 

“Once again, Trump and House Republicans are prioritizing their billionaire buddies instead of helping hard-working Americans, who are already getting hit with rising costs from Trump’s disastrous tariffs. This bill is a triple–whammy: it makes devastating cuts to food and healthcare programs while driving up costs for everyone; gives massive tax breaks to big corporations and the ultra-rich instead of the middle class; and irresponsibly adds over $5 trillion to the national debt. It is fundamentally unfair and un-American: Families will lose health care. Hospitals will close. Kids will go hungry. All so the wealthiest 0.1% can get even richer,” said Congressman Pat Ryan. “I don’t care who you voted for. I don’t care about your political party. I only care about the Hudson Valley and I do not want to see our community suffer. We need to be loud, we need to be united, and we need to convince Trump and the Senate that this bill is wrong for our country. This fight is not over.”
