The New York Times reported on the Little Lobbyists’ efforts in a heartbreaking article. They are a group of children with serious medical needs and their parents who rely on Medicaid. They went to Capitol Hill last week to warn that Trump’s Big Beautiful Billionaires Budget Bill includes Medicaid cuts that could be “devastating.”
The Little Lobbyists group was formed in 2017, during Donald Trump’s first term, to oppose the GOP effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “Their successful campaign to save the law was part of a broader backlash against the proposal, which was driven in large part by major health care lobbies, like hospitals and insurance companies, as well as patient groups worried about losing insurance coverage,” as per The Times.
