Interview with Congressman Mark Pocan on Trump's Tariff Policies and Democratic Strategies

Published | Video Starts at 08:00

I did one last week in La Crosse and 350 plus people showed up. They want to talk about those cuts to Medicaid and long term care. Don't forget, that's 1.3 million people in Wisconsin... 55% of seniors in nursing homes get help from Medicaid. 1 out of 3 kids in Wisconsin gets their health insurance from Medicaid. So, you know, that's why they're hiding in their basements, because they don't want to talk about what they're actually doing. (08:00–08:07)

CLAIM
