His proposal also creates real consequences for the state budget, putting New York's taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars in eliminated federal funding."

Here are some of the programs put at risk by the President’s proposed budget:

"The Republican health care bill is reckless and damaging for our nation and for New York. The bill means far fewer New Yorkers would have insurance, penalizes those who suffer from pre-existing conditions and potentially punches a big hole in our state budget. Members voted for this disastrous bill without knowing its true cost and impact, leaving millions of Americans behind with no options. New Yorkers deserve better from Washington."
