SNAP and Medicaid benefits face the biggest federal funding cuts in history as a result of President Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill passed last year. Tens of thousands of West Virginians will likely lose benefits. “We rely on the benefits very much. And it's not because we're taking advantage of the government. It's because we actually need these things,” says 26-year-old Tabitha Collins, who is the sole breadwinner for a family of 6 in West Virginia. “A lot of us are working citizens. And we're still barely making it by,” she adds. #medicaid #SNAP #foodstamps #publicpolicy #uspolitics
