DESCRIPTION:Fund Care, Not Billionaires! National Strategy Call - Medicare for All 
 Now!\n\nWhen: Jun 10, 2025 at 5:00 PM PT\n\nWho: Nurses, activists, and 
 everyone & anyone concerned about saving U.S. health care\n\nPlease join: 
 https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JMDam-0KSKGnMMgdfH_nGQ#/registration\n\n\nYesterday, 
 House Republicans passed their budget bill that would slash over $1 
 trillion from Medicaid and Medicare — and it’s even worse than we 
 thought.\n\nWhile most of the country was asleep early Thursday, the GOP 
 made last-second edits to their federal spending package in order to gain 
 the support of the far-right hardliners in their party.\n\nNot only will 
 this megabill cut at least $715 billion from Medicaid and other vital, 
 lifesaving health care programs, but it will also:\n\n--Add red-tape and 
 cost-sharing requirements to Medicaid intended to prevent people from 
 getting the care they need.1\n    \n--Throw at least 13.7 million people 
 off their health insurance (and that’s likely a low estimate given the 
 late amendments).2\n    \n--Trigger $500 BILLION in Medicare cuts to pay 
 for the deficit caused by this bill’s tax giveaways for millionaires and 
 billionaires.3\n\nThis bill represents the largest cut to Medicare and 
 Medicaid EVER!\n\nThe silver lining is that this radical budget is not 
 final. Next, it must go through the same process in the Senate, where 
 Senate Republicans have expressed doubts about a variety of the budget’s 
 components. As we continue to keep the pressure on our senators to oppose 
 this budget, we also need to make sure House Republicans who lied about 
 keeping their hands off Medicaid and Medicare are held accountable.\n\nThis 
 bill is just the latest in a series of unprecedented attacks on the working 
 class by the billionaire class (and their allies in Congress & the current 
 administration)— join us on this upcoming nationwide strategy call to 
 talk more about these attacks and what we can do to take action to 
 strengthen our movement.\n\nNational Nurses United, with more than 225,000 
 members nationwide, is the largest union and professional association of 
 registered nurses in U.S. history.\n
