Thousands of health care workers are set to rally outside New York hospitals against cuts to Medicaid.
Employees at Mount Sinai, Jamaica, New York-Presbyterian hospitals and more are calling on Republicans on Capitol Hill not to pass the president’s mega bill which shifts costs to the states.
They say 1.5 million New Yorkers could lose health insurance and that could lead to hospital closures.
The House already passed the measure and is now being considered in the Senate.
