California Republican Doug LaMalfa defends Medicaid cuts amid town hall heckling


Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) defended the Medicaid cuts that Congress passed as part of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as the lawmaker got heckled by residents in his home district at a town hall Monday night.

LaMalfa hosted the town hall in Chico, California, a Democratic college town in the otherwise Republican-leaning congressional district in Northern California. He was met with an uproar of shouting from his constituents.

“You’re out of your mind. You cut our healthcare,” one constituent yelled when LaMalfa started talking about the cuts to Medicaid and California’s Medicaid program called Medi-Cal. He was quickly booed after he mentioned Trump’s massive tax and spending law.
