Republicans Advance Bill Cutting Healthcare, Education, and Job Training
During the House Appropriations Committee markup of the 2027 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education funding bill, Democrats voiced strong opposition to a Republican proposal that significantly reduces funding for critical health coverage, education, and job training programs. The bill threatens the Affordable Care Act, eliminates essential youth and adult job training, and cuts Title I grants, impacting teachers and students. Furthermore, it increases college student loan interest rates and slashes funding for crucial research and reproductive health services, exacerbating affordability issues for millions of Americans.
