Vigil for Medicaid at U.S. Capitol

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) delivers remarks at a 60-hour vigil for Medicaid, the social safety net program that insures Americans with limited income, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on July 23, 2025. Participants demanded a reversal in cuts made to the program in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, accusing Congressional Republicans and U.S. President Donald Trump of cutting Medicaid funding to pay for a tax cut for wealthy Americans.
