But. unfortunately. the Republican leadership did not even wait for the ink to dry on the deal before changing it. In fact. the bill before us violates the budget deal in several critical ways. First. it fails to provide basic assistance to legal immigrants. which means that 16.000 elderly and disabled legal immigrants in New York will have the safety net cut out from under them. The bill cuts more than $12 billion from hospitals and other health care providers in New York. and the childrens health program fails to provide coverage for more than 4 million children. It denies American workers basic workplace protections. and it will hurt seniors and their families who depend on quality nursing care.
