Congressman Harder during Manteca Democratic Club talk slams healthcare cuts
By PAUL FREIBERGER
Special to the Bulletin
Congressman Josh Harder, D-Tracy, (CA-9) addressed approximately 40 members and guests of the Manteca Democratic Club at its monthly meeting on May 27, focusing on the challenges facing San Joaquin County and outlining his priorities for the months ahead.
Harder discussed the healthcare crisis, corruption in the Trump administration, and the path to flipping the House in the upcoming November elections.
“It was encouraging to hear the Congressman’s optimism about our future and his clear agenda for how we can recover from the corruption and challenges of this administration,” said Don Claus, President of the Manteca Democratic Club. “Our members left feeling energized and ready to do the work ahead.”
Healthcare cuts hit home
Harder called the cuts to Medi-Cal “probably the biggest under-the-radar story” of the moment. He noted that half of Manteca residents are on Medi-Cal and warned that the cuts will result in 50,000 San Joaquin County residents losing health insurance. Approximately 1,000 doctors and nurses could be laid off locally, he said.
