STEVE SWEENEY STATEMENT ON CONGRESSMAN KEAN’S VOTE TO GUT MEDICAID
Steve Sweeney has issued the following statement:

 

“The Congressman claimed he wouldn't vote to cut Medicaid – but then did exactly that. Now, the program that two million New Jerseyans rely on is at serious risk. For the constituents he just betrayed, that means more insulin rationing, loss of access to cancer treatment, and the unconscionable possibility of cutting off children with chronic illnesses from life-saving support. Because Washington politicians are tripping over themselves to curry favor with Trump, New Jerseyans end up paying more and people like my daughter get left behind. 

 

“This vote is an attack on the most vulnerable amongst us, including seniors and those with disabilities. Governor Murphy was 100% right in calling him out, because the pre-MAGA Tom Kean would have never done something this callous. It just goes to show how far out-of-touch he has become – just like all the other politicians in Washington.”
