Protestors gathered outside Rep. Young Kim's office in Anaheim, opposing Trump's $1 trillion cuts to federal healthcare funding and tax cuts. Melody Mendenhall, a nurse, criticized the proposed bill as harmful and called for the protection of Medicaid. Despite the protest, Kim defended her position, stating her commitment to safeguarding Medicaid services. The legislation passed the Senate and awaits a vote in the House. Tensions rose as demonstrators attempted to enter the building, leading to police presence at the protest.
Melody Mendenhall, a nurse at UCLA, expressed her concerns about the proposed cuts, stating, "I don't know why they call it beautiful, because there's nothing about it that's beautiful. It's harmful, it's reckless, and it's cruel, and it's going to hurt people." Her sentiments reflect strong opposition to legislation impacting necessary healthcare services.
Rep. Young Kim stated, "I understand some of my constituents are concerned and know how important Medicaid services are for many in my community, which is why I voted to protect and strengthen Medicaid services for our most vulnerable citizens who truly need it," emphasizing her engagement with local healthcare advocates.
