Fund Health Care, Not Billionaires! Fighting for Medicaid & Public Health - Panel w/ NNU

Mar 13, 2025 at 5:00 PM PT

Medicaid and other critical public health programs are facing unprecedented attacks. The Trump administration’s proposed cuts would take health care away from tens of millions of Medicaid enrollees and threaten the jobs of the nurses and other workers who provide that essential care—all to finance massive tax cuts for the billionaire class.

“Medicaid protects tens of millions of patients, and nurses care for them every day. Taking away their health care is deadly,” said Nancy Hagans, RN and NNU president. “This is an attack on children, on seniors, on patients who are pregnant or have disabilities — it is an attack on millions of our patients. We need to expand health care, not destroy it.”

Tune in March 13th at 5pm PT/8pm ET for a discussion of how the attack on Medicaid would impact patients, workers, and our communities, and how we can fight back.

Speakers:

Cathy Kennedy, President, National Nurses United

Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO
