House Democrats decry health cuts in GOP tax law at Louisiana town hall

House Democrats criticized health care cuts in the recent GOP tax law during a town hall in Louisiana, led by Hakeem Jeffries. They argue the legislation, signed by Trump, threatens Medicaid and could leave 11.8 million people without health insurance. The bill, which includes $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthy, is seen as detrimental to working-class voters. Louisiana, home to key Republican leaders, is projected to lose a significant portion of its Medicaid budget, risking the closure of rural hospitals and increasing uninsured rates.
