Friends-

Congress is moving forward with plans to slash Medicaid. The U.S. House and Senate have started the process to cut billions of dollars in federal spending- this can only happen by cutting Medicaid funds.

These cuts would devastate over 80 million people, including 17 million older adults and individuals with disabilities, who rely on Medicaid for healthcare and essential home and community-based services.

Medicaid cuts would weaken the service system for people with disabilities, as millions of caregivers and home-based service providers are paid through Medicaid. Family caregivers, many of whom are already struggling to make ends meet, would face greater hardship.

These ideas come under many different names, per capita caps, block granting, work requirements, roll backs of administrative gains. No matter the name, they are all cuts to Medicaid and should be opposed. There is no room for compromise—any cuts to Medicaid will cause harm, disproportionately impacting children, older adults, and people with disabilities.

We must act now. Use this easy form to email your members of Congress to demand they protect Medicaid and the vital services it provides!
