Days after President Donald Trump signed the “Big Beautiful Bill” into law, a coalition of advocacy and political action groups rallied alongside 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers outside U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’s office in Bay Ridge, speaking out against the drastic federal cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that could impact millions of New Yorkers.
Malliotakis is one of seven Republican representatives from New York who voted for the sweeping federal budget plan, which, among other cuts, slashes $1 trillion from Medicaid and $500 billion from Medicare over the next decade. Protestors highlighted the devastating consequences the cuts to safety net programs would have on New York’s healthcare providers, patients, employees, and communities.
