McBride on Passage of Republican Budget Bill: \u201cThis is Trumpcare\u2014Plain and Simple\u201d", "2025-07-03", "2025", "2025-07", "Democrat", "House", "DE", "Sarah McBride", "M001238", "mcbride.house.gov", "mcbride", "https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "Washington, D.C. \u2014 On Friday, Congresswoman Sarah McBride (D-DE) condemned House Republicans for passing H.R. 1, a sweeping budget that she says represents the most extreme rewrite of the country\u2019s health care system in history.\n\nSpeaking during the debate on the House floor, McBride warned that the bill\u2014crafted behind closed doors and rushed to the floor at the direction of President Trump\u2014would inflict lasting harm on working families across Delaware and the country.\n\n\u201cThis bill is Trumpcare, and Trumpcare means 17 million more Americans uninsured and all the rest of us paying higher costs and driving further to get care,\u201d said McBride. \u201cOver the last several months I've met with hundreds of Delawareans. Parents, patients, providers, hospital leaders, teachers, nurses, people across the state of Delaware, everyone asking us, pleading with us to kill this bill.\u201d\n\nThe bill includes the largest cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and rural hospital support in American history\u2014all to partially pay for over $3 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.\n\nWhen enacted, the legislation will:\n\nStrip health coverage from more than 54,000 Delawareans, including tens of thousands of children, seniors, and people with disabilities\n\nEliminate food assistance for 37,000 Delawareans\n\nPut at least one of Delaware\u2019s three rural hospitals at risk of closure due to deep Medicaid cuts\n\nAdd $4 trillion to the national deficit\n\n\u201cBudgets are moral documents,\u201d McBride said. \u201cAnd this one tells working families, veterans, and seniors: you\u2019re on your own.\u201d\n\nThroughout the process, McBride fought to blunt the bill\u2019s worst impact, offering amendments to protect Medicare and joining a discharge petition to protect Medicaid and SNAP. She joined dozens of Democratic colleagues again on Wednesday to motion for an amendment that would block any cuts to Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans in the House blocked all efforts.\n\n\u201cThey are importing the worst parts of the private health care system into Medicaid and into Medicare to make it more complicated, to push people off of care, to make people just give up entirely on getting care,\u201d McBride saidduring the Rules Committee hearing on HR 1.\n\nMcBride vowed to continue working with serious legislators in both parties to reverse the damage of the bill and pursue a better path forward rooted in dignity, opportunity, and stability for all Americans.\n\n\u201cDelaware families work hard. They play by the rules. And they deserve leaders who do the same,\u201d said McBride. \u201cI\u2019ll never stop fighting to build a government that works for them.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mcbride-passage-republican-budget-bill-trumpcare-plain-and-simple"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8931451011449099, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
