"Healthcare right now in America is bad,"
"It's helped me get the medicine I need, like my insulin,"
"As I get older, I want to make sure I'm around for my kids. But my insulin isn't cheap, so thankfully, I have affordable healthcare right now, but I will be affected by these changes."
More than 1,000 healthcare workers, activists and local officials rallied at the Los Angeles Convention Center to protest proposed trillion-dollar Medicare and Medicaid cuts in Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill." Protesters warned that millions could lose coverage if enhanced premium tax credits enacted in 2021 are allowed to expire. Senate Democrats refused to approve a Republican short-term funding bill that excluded an extension of those credits, contributing to a government shutdown. Rally participants included mobile clinic driver Romond Phillips and community advocate David Rolas, who relies on Covered California for insulin. St. John's Community Health plans a county ballot measure to raise hundreds of millions for healthcare.
