The Truth About Trumpcare

Last week, the US House of Representatives passed a bill that would end Medicaid as we know it and cut it by $839 billion, weaken pre-existing condition protections, and cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans. Supporters of the bill rushed to the airwaves and lied about Trumpcare's true impacts. That's why US Senator Martin Heinrich and Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham are teaming up with local leaders and advocates to tell the truth about this devastating bill.
