HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — At the La Tiendita food pantry, ABC13 met Moses. Wheelchair-bound for 40 years, he’s confused about what the new law means for him.
“Taking Medicaid away,” he told ABC13. “All the assistance we get, it’s going to be very hard for us.”
“I get food stamps, which is not much. Sixty dollars. Medicaid, Medicare. Without that, I live by myself. Without that, I don’t know,” he said.
He likely won’t lose Medicaid, but it seems nobody has the answers as to who exactly the coming cuts will impact and how.
Ramiro Fonseca is the outreach coordinator at the Tejano Center, a nonprofit that provides educational and economic help to the Latino community. He says there is a lot of concern about much-talked-about cuts.
