WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - For Jeneva Stone and her family, Medicaid has been a lifesaver. Her son Rob suffers from a rare disease. She said medical bankruptcy was a real possibility before receiving Medicaid in 2012. 

"Because of Medicaid Rob can be with his family rather than a nursing home, where no 21-year-old man should be, Stone said. "We had spent over a quarter of a million dollars in out of pocket medical expenses."

But Senate Democrats say Medicaid and America's health care system, that protects millions of others like Rob, are under attack. 

Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey said, "The administration gave us a reminder about Medicaid recently, they said that in their budget that they wanted to cut Medicaid by 1 ½ trillion dollars."

"The Trump Administration's assault on the American healthcare system has reached new unprecedented levels," Senator Chris Murphy said. The stakes are high, he added.

The Trump administration is involved a lawsuit in Texas that would put an end to the affordable care act, and roll back Medicaid expansion. 

"The result of this lawsuit succeeding would be a national humanitarian catastrophe," Murphy said.

Despite demands from Democrats, for Republicans and the President to save Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, President Trump plans on moving forward. It's become part of his campaign speech.

President Donald Trump said, "We got the individual mandate, the absolute worst part of Obamacare eliminated and now we're going for the rest, and we had it done except for one vote you know what I'm talking about one vote."

But Senator Casey said if the President succeeds, he and congress will have to answer to the millions of Americans whose lives are put at risk.
