Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

If you're not going to a community health center, you really ought to try one out. They do everything from little tiny babies to seniors. They do all kinds of care, preventive care, really the soup to nuts of taking care of people. And they give that high quality care. at the lowest possible cost. Cuts to Medicaid means that they could lose as much as half their budget.

And understand this, they even lose 2% of their budget. They work so efficiently using every dollar to its maximum benefit. That really means they got to stop offering services. So what? They cut out care for little babies. They cut out emergency care. They cut out preventive care. None of that is good. You want to force people to go to the hospitals.

You want to force people to give up the care they need. In the long run, that just costs us more money and a whole lot more misery.

My response is... I care about people and I know you do too. And what I really care about is that we don't give a bunch of tax breaks to billionaires and pay for it on the backs of hard working people. People who a lot of times are putting together two and three jobs just to be able to keep their families and themselves above water. Come on. We don't want to cut health care for those people.

We don't want to cut access to nursing homes for their grandmas and grandpas. This is just basic who you think this country ought to run for. And that's true whether you're Democrat or Republican, an independent, a libertarian, a vegetarian. You've got to care about who this country works for. And this Republican budget plan is all about billionaires win, everybody else loses.

We just can't do that.

We just can't do that.

We just can't do that.

Look, the Republicans are following Donald Trump's lead here when he said to his donors, make him president and he would give his richest hell donors, those are his words, fabulous tax cuts. And that's exactly what this is about. Look, there may be a lot of ways we should be doing tax cuts for working people, for middle class families.

But that doesn't mean you have to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. And that's the real difference here. The people who are sucking up all those tax cuts are the people at the very top. Last week in the United States Senate, about 4 o'clock in the morning, we're running through our first version of how the budget's going to work.
