Protesters flood Capitol building over Medicaid cuts in Trump-backed budget plan

The demonstrators associated with many left -wing groups, including the Popular Action Institute, have dumped the Capitol Hill office in Washington on Wednesday, where the House of Representatives prepared to vote on the “Great and Beautiful” budget bill supported by President Donald Trump.
The Capitol Police has responded to many protests on Medicid’s discounts that have disrupted activities in the buildings of the Capitol office over the past few weeks.
On Wednesday, the protesters affiliated with the People’s Labor Institute closed a corridor in the Longworth House office as part of protesting the discounts to Medicaid in the budget bill.
In a video obtained from Fox News Digital, the demonstrators who prevent the hallway and scream, “We got the power”, can be seen while raising their grip. Several demonstrators held banners reading “murder delicacies”.

The Capitol Police soon cleared the demonstrators from the building; There seems to be any arrests.
Democrats highlighted parts of the budget bill that restructuring the Medicaid program, a 60 -year -old federal government program that provides health insurance for about 71 million adults and low -income children.
The discounts in Medicaid, which are partly formulated as a displacement to pay the costs of the 2017 tax reduction law for the year 2017, which is scheduled to end this year, includes a large number of new rules and regulatory requirements for those looking for coverage. Among them is a new set of work requirements for many of those looking for coverage.
On Wednesday’s protest was not the only one who disrupted the activity in the Capitol office buildings this month. Fox News Digital was reported to Medicaid protesters, which disrupts a budget mark by the Parliamentary and Trade Council Committee on May 13.
The video taken by Fox News Digital showed from the Capitol police protests trying to control the situation, and cry over and over again, “If you are not arrested, go!”

The video also shows a woman in a wheelchair that is removed from the committee’s room during the screaming, “They want to kill the disabled, want to kill patients, and they want to kill the old warriors who fought for us.”
Amid chaos, Senator Korea Booker, DN.J, stimulates the crowds, saying: “Continue fighting, we remain strong, we will not allow them to remove health care. You are leading the road. Thank you very much.”
In response to criticism about the disruption of activity in the congressional office buildings, I told UNai Monses-Yiruesse, a spokesman for the Individual Labor Institute, Fox News Digital that “Medicaid Cuts Kill. Nothing is more targeted than death.”
“There is no area in the country in the country that supports tearing healthcare coverage away from Medicaid recipients so that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg can buy new yachts,” said Montes Erwist.

Despite the accusations that Republicans want to reduce Medicid, Representative Richard Hudson of North Carolina, Chairman of the National Committee of the Republic in Congress, told the Fox News Digital this month that “Republicans are wasteful, fraud and assault in Medicaid so that the most at risk they need.”

“Democrats are lying to protect the current broken situation that allows illegal immigrants siphon from billions designated for American families. We are enhancing medicaid for future generations by protecting taxpayers and restoring integrity,” Hudson said.
It is expected that the House of Representatives will vote on the budget bill at some time between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, and the timing depends on the passage of the rules decision from the House of Representatives Bases Committee.
