‘When we fight, we win’: Doctors, nurses, health workers rally against Medicaid cuts

DOCTORS, NURSES AND HEALTH CARE workers rallied together in front of Wilma Chan Highland Hospital in Oakland in response to President Donald Trump and Congress cutting $1.2 trillion in federal health care spending.  

The Alameda Health System that oversees the hospital serves nearly 127,000 patients annually, many of whom rely on Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. Early projections from AHS say the health system could lose over $100 million annually in federal funding by 2030.
