‘Need to be helped now’: Healthcare workers protest against Gov. Hochul’s proposed healthcare cuts

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Many healthcare workers joined community leaders in Niagara Square Friday afternoon to protest Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed cuts to healthcare.

Home care worker Elizabeth Jackson joined many to protest.

“Remember we are essential workers. We don’t need promises that aren’t going to be fulfilled nor kept. So we need for her to think of us, to go for us,” she says. “And remember there’s a generation coming behind us. if not we won’t have that generation come in to do homecare, nursing or anything.”

Hochul’s proposed budget contains hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to health services.
