‘Big and ugly’: Hochul and Jeffries sound alarm in Brooklyn over Medicare and Medicaid cuts in Trump spending bill

Gov. Kathy Hochul, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Brooklyn), and hospital staff members railed on Sunday afternoon against a Trump-backed bill that they warned will gut funding for health care coverage for seniors and low-income New Yorkers.

Hochul did not mince words as she addressed doctors, nurses, and management inside of One Brooklyn Hospital Interfaith Medical Center located at 1545 Atlantic Ave. She took aim conservative elected officials in the Big Apple who voted to pass what President Donald Trump has dubbed the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” tax cut and spending bill, which includes draconian cuts to Medicare and Medicaid funding.
