On May 7, 2025, Rep. Schrier addressed proposed federal budget cuts affecting healthcare services. She expressed her concerns at 16:28 UTC: “Republican attempts to cut Medicaid by $880 billion would be a direct attack on the most vulnerable members of our community and decimate our broader health care system.” Schrier emphasized her commitment by joining colleagues from the Democratic Doctors Caucus in opposing these cuts.
