Assemblymember Valencia issues statement on President Trump and Medicaid
SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblymember Valencia (D-Anaheim) issued the following statement:
“When families in our communities seek health care, they should feel safe, not watched. I am deeply troubled by recent reports that President Trump handed over sensitive personal information, which is collected from enrollees through Medicaid and Medi-Cal systems, to deportation officials. That is not just wrong, it is dangerous. Learning that personal details, even something as personal as immigration status, might be used against families breaks the trust our communities depend on.
