Biden slams health care cuts in Trump's budget after teasing 2020 run
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday took a shot at President Donald Trump's newly unveiled fiscal 2020 budget proposal for cutting billions from federal health care programs.
"Did you see the budget that was introduced? It cuts $845 billion. Almost a trillion-dollar cut in Medicare. And almost a quarter-billion [cut] ... in Medicaid," Biden said. The plan would cut an estimated $800 billion or more over 10 years from the 65-and-up health insurance program Medicare, according to reports and analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The proposal would also reduce spending on Medicaid, the federal-and-state program that provides low-income Americans insurance, by more than $200 billion while setting up block grants to states.
