Mark Pocan: “They voted to cut food Assistance, the number one program…”

“I mean, six Republicans, every Republican in Wisconsin in the House voted for a bill to take away Medicaid health care from almost 14 million people, plus more through the cuts to the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. They voted to cut food Assistance, the number one program keeping kids out of poverty, to 11 million people in the country. They're cutting education funding, Pell Grants for people going to college. They even did things that they didn't need to do, like they took away the ratios in nursing homes for seniors for staffing, and then this half a trillion dollar cut to Medicare.” (15:48–15:56)
