Immigration crackdown could raise cost, lower quality of health care The Trump administration's crackdown on immigration could disrupt a caregiver industry that is heavily dependent on foreign-born workers.

Trump’s immigration policies are making caregivers afraid to go to work. In turn, this will leave patients without critical care, and drive up costs for all of us. #CareIsEssential eu.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Without immigrants, California’s caregiving system would not function and would get exponentially more expensive. #CareIsEssential

This is an assault on working people, and we will hold every member of Congress who voted for this budget bill accountable at the ballot box. We will never forget they traded our health for billionaire tax cuts.

Los Angeles IHSS workers need a new contract that lifts caregivers out of poverty and invests in the workforce LA County depends on to provide compassionate, life-sustaining care.

5 ways Trump's megabill will limit health care access With spending cuts poised to hit medical providers, Medicaid recipients and Affordable Care Act enrollees, here's how the bill will affect health care access for millions in the U.S.

Gutting Medicaid doesn’t just hurt a fewβ€”it threatens millions. It means shuttered hospitals, lost care, and higher costs for everyone. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Healthcare isn't a perk.
It's not a bonus.
It's not up for debate.
Healthcare is a human right.

ICE crackdowns are making some fear showing up for work The Trump administration's crackdowns on immigrants is causing a profound change in the labor force right now. Today on the show: are immigrants still showing up for work?

Caregivers shouldn’t have to choose between showing up for work or staying safe. ICE sweeps are scaring people away from their jobsβ€”and those who need care are paying the price. www.npr.org/2025/07/10/n...

Too Sick To Work, Some Americans Worry Trump’s Bill Will Strip Their Health Insurance - KFF Health News Republicans claim 4.8 million Americans on Medicaid who could work choose not to. The GOP’s work-requirement legislation could sweep up disabled people who say they’re unable to hold jobs.

Most Medicaid enrollees who are employed hold low-wage jobs, often with long or irregular hours and limited benefits, if any. Stripping away their care is just cruel. #HandsOffMedicaid kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Senate Bill Would Make Deep Cuts to Medicaid, Setting Up Fight With House The proposal would salvage some clean-energy tax credits and phase out others more slowly, making up some of the cost by imposing deeper cuts to Medicaid than the House-passed bill would.

Medicaid isn’t optional. It’s the foundation of care for millions. Our leaders should be working to expand itβ€”not cut it. #HandsOffMedicaid www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Medicaid keeps getting more popular as Republicans aim to cut it by $800 billion Americans across the political spectrum like Medicaid and think it should get more funding, not less, according to a new poll from health research organization KFF.

Republicans in Congress need a reality check: Medicaid is more popular than ever with the general public. They should be working to make Medicaid stronger. #HandsOffMedicaid www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Housing, nutrition in peril as Trump pulls back Medicaid social services About half of states have broadened Medicaid, the state-federal low-income health care program, to pay for social services such as housing and nutritional support.

Local in-home support workers at risk due to proposed state budget cuts Governor Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal would reduce the workweek for In-Home Support Service workers by 16 hours. A local IHSS worker says it would force her to find a new job, taking away care for her daughter.

California can’t balance the budget on the backs of IHSS workers and the people they serve. These proposed cuts mean less care and more burnout. #CareIsEssential www.capradio.org/articles/202...

🚨When we speak out, they listen.🚨 SEIU 2015 and
@udw.org members turned out strong last week in Sacramento to tell lawmakers that #OurCareCounts. The energy worked, and state legislators announced a budget proposal that protects IHSS. Next step is to push it through!

'I feel very scared': Some Americans fear losing coverage due to proposed Medicaid cuts Republicans are proposing cuts to Medicaid as part of President Donald Trump's spending bill. Some Americans are worried the cuts will cause them to lose their coverage.

Rosa left her job to care for her daughter with cerebral palsy. Now, looming Medicaid cuts threaten the essential support they rely on. Families like Rosa's need security, not uncertainty. #HandsOffMedicaid abcnews.go.com/Health/feel-...

Caregivers said NO to the proposed CA budget. SEIU 2015 members made nearly 16,000 calls to legislative leadership to defend IHSS, protect nursing home standards, and stop cuts to long-term care. This is worker power. This is community. #UnionsForAll

SEIU California | SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.
