On this day in 1965, Medicaid and Medicare were signed into law, two programs that have helped millions of Floridians live longer, healthier lives and achieve economic security.
Yet just weeks before Medicaid’s 60th anniversary, Luna, Mills, and Salazar voted to cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, ripping away health care from millions of Americans and raising medical costs on everyone – all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.
Luna, Mills, and Salazar’s cruel and decisive vote will wreak havoc on Floridians’ lives:
It’s no wonder Luna, Mills, and Salazar have resorted to blatantly lying about their vote and refused to meet voters face-to-face since.
ADDITIONALLY: The Big, Ugly Law triggers nearly $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, resulting in additional likely cuts to funding for hospitals and doctors, and higher premiums for seniors.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“For Medicaid’s 60th birthday, it’s a cruel irony that Anna Paulina Luna, Cory Mills, and María Elvira Salazar decided to throw the lifesaving program a wake instead of a birthday party. Luna, Mills, and Salazar broke their promise to lower costs for working families, instead choosing to side with the GOP’s billionaire backers. Floridians will remember their betrayal when they reject Luna, Mills, and Salazar in 2026.”
