  We Need Your Voice: Tell Your Governor to Defend Medicaid Funding

  Republicans in Congress are pushing for massive tax breaks for the rich and think we should pay for them by cutting healthcare (and other critical programs) for those who can least afford it. Right now, Medicaid funding is on the chopping block at the federal level, putting 72 million seniors, children, low-income families, pregnant people, people with disabilities, young people newly in the workforce, and people across America at risk of losing healthcare coverage. [1] The thing is, a massive cut to Medicaid like this will not just impact healthcare, but entire state budgets! Medicaid makes up 30 percent of state budgets, meaning cuts to federal support would force Governors in both red and blue states to make impossible choices: slash healthcare for those who need it most or gut other essential programs to fill the gap. [2] Your voice is needed! Tell your governor to stand up against reckless cuts to Medicaid and protect healthcare for millions of seniors, children, low-income families, pregnant people, and people with disabilities.
