Joe Morelle, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 25th district, has recently shared his concerns on social media regarding policies under President Trump’s administration. His comments focus on the implications for healthcare and education systems.
On March 20, 2025, Morelle expressed concerns about changes to Medicaid by President Trump. He stated that these changes could result in seniors being “turned away from basic healthcare services” and force people to send their aging parents to hospitals instead of primary care facilities, which would overwhelm hospital systems. Morelle’s post can be found here.
Later that day, Morelle addressed an Executive Order by President Trump affecting education funding. According to Morelle’s tweet at 22:20 UTC, this order cuts access to special education funding for 7.5 million students nationwide, which he claims is done in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy. The original tweet is available here.
On March 21, 2025, Morelle accused President Trump of breaking his promise not to cut Medicaid funding. He asserted that Trump’s spending bill includes deep cuts impacting millions who depend on Medicaid for healthcare. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, Morelle pledged to fight against these cuts and raise awareness about them. This statement was posted here.
