Congressman Vicente Gonzalez on Protecting Medicaid in Texas 34th District

Recently, House Republicans passed a budget framework that would cut Medicaid and leave our most vulnerable Americans without health care. In Texas 34th district alone, there are 205,000 people on Medicaid, almost a third of our population, including over 160,000 children and 32,000 senior citizens. (00:32–00:42)
