New Dem Chair Schneider Calls on Republicans to Join Democrats in Voting to Protect Medicaid, SNAP

Today, New Democrat Coalition Chair Brad Schneider (IL-10) issued the following statement regarding a discharge petition introduced by New Dem and Budget Committee Ranking Member Brendan Boyle (PA-02) to force a vote on the House floor to block devastating cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits.

“Signing this discharge petition should be as easy as saying you support Medicaid and SNAP, but so far not one Republican is willing to put health care and food assistance for millions of people above tax cuts for billionaires.

“If our colleagues across the aisle truly support hardworking families over President Trump’s billionaire buddies, they’ll join us in signing this petition.”
