Bush budget would cut billions for New York, opponents say


WASHINGTON New York state would lose at least one (b) billion dollars annually in federal funding if changes to the government's health programs for the poor proposed by President Bush are enacted.

Under the new proposal, New York stands to lose the most in Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides health care to the poor.


Senator Charles Schumer says this is his 25th federal budget, and it's the worse he's ever seen for New York.

Please give Clinton & Schumer a call and ask them what they intend to do about this. Thank you.
