The National Medical Association is deeply concerned following today’s passage of President Donald Trump’s new tax bill in the U.S. House of Representatives. This legislation threatens to strip health care coverage from millions by slashing Medicaid and weakening safety net programs.
The NMA remains steadfast in fighting for equitable, quality health care for every American. This fight is not over. We call on all medical professionals and advocates to stand with us.

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate has passed a bill slashing $1 trillion from Medicaid, jeopardizing care for millions of Americans.
Dr. Virginia Caine, 125th President of the NMA, calls this a direct threat to vulnerable communities, rural hospitals, and the foundation of our health care system.
“Medicaid isn’t just a program, it’s a lifeline for children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families. These cuts will devastate access to care and drive up costs.”
The NMA strongly opposes these unprecedented cuts and urges policymakers to protect Medicaid and the people it serves. Listen in as Dr. Caine speaks out on these cuts.
