Many health care organizations have come out in support of the Coalition Budget Substitute because they know that our health care system cannot continue to meet the needs of the American people if the broader economy is ill. They support this alternative to the Republican budget proposal because it makes hard choices while still preserving essential safety net programs in Medicare and Medicaid. It incorporates savings from welfare reform that will not give benefits to noncitizens. It is time for this country to put the needs of its hardworking. lawabiding citizens ahead of those who do not contribute to our economy. This bill does gives priority to legal U.S. citizens.
