Democratic Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has proposed a budget that would remove 25,000 people from Medicaid.

The budget would update eligibility requirements for Medicaid in D.C. and subsequently lead to tens of thousands of people being kicked off the health coverage.
 
Why It Matters
Republicans have touted Medicaid cuts federally, with GOP leaders seeking changes to the program to pass a $2 trillion government spending cut.

However, Democratic cuts to the program are relatively rare. Without access to Medicaid, many low-income D.C. residents would be forced to find other insurance or go without, potentially leading to medical debt and worse health outcomes.

Either she knows it isn't near enough but that is all the council will cut, or it isn't enough but she's sending the first salvo toward illegal aliens the city can't afford them anymore.  I suspect the "rising expenses" mainly equates to illegal aliens.
