McBride Slams GOP Budget as Trumpcare in Disguise", "2025-07-02", "2025", "2025-07", "Democrat", "House", "DE", "Sarah McBride", "M001238", "mcbride.house.gov", "mcbride", "https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "Washington, D.C. \u2014During a House Committee on Rules hearing, Delaware\u2019s Congresswoman Sarah McBride blasted the Republican budget proposal as a \u201cfundamental and dangerous rehaul\u201d of the American health care system, warning it would leave 17 million more Americans uninsured, raise costs for working families, and shutter rural hospitals.\n\n\u201cThis is Trumpcare,\u201d said Rep. McBride. \u201cAnd Trumpcare means 17 million Americans losing coverage. It means rural hospitals closing. It means patients paying more out of pocket and having to drive further to get care.\u201d\n\nThe Majority\u2019s budget reconciliation bill slashes Medicaid while adding burdensome red tape and bureaucratic hurdles that would make it harder for patients to access care. McBride criticized the plan as importing \u201cthe worst parts of the private health care system\u201d into safety-net programs like Medicaid, driving patients out of coverage by design.\n\n\u201cThey\u2019re inserting waste into Medicaid and Medicare by adding excessive paperwork, excessive bureaucracy. They 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 said McBride. \u201cI think this big ugly bill needs to be DOGE\u2019d.\u201d\n\nIn her remarks, McBride noted that the bill is entirely about handing tax breaks to billionaires, and to \u201cpartially, just partially pay for it, they\u2019re handing the bill to Medicaid patients. They\u2019re handing the bill to Medicare patients. They\u2019re handing the bill to hungry families. They\u2019re handing the bill to state governments. They\u2019re handing the bill to state governments. They\u2019re handing the bill to future generations.\u201d\n\nMcBride called for rejecting the bill entirely.\n\n\u201cI understand why this majority doesn't want to have their fingerprints on these cuts,\u201d McBride continued. \u201cThey're trying to push off the difficult choices to state governments. They're trying to make it the fault of patients who can't keep up with the paperwork.\n\n\u201cThis is trickle down cruelty.\u201d\n\nWatch Rep. McBride\u2019s full remarks here.\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-slams-gop-budget-trumpcare-disguise"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7612921763211489, "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"}
