Speaking up to protect Medicaid is more important than ever! Check out the newest information below from Disability Rights Pennsylvania about what Congress is doing and find out how you can use your voice to keep speaking up to tell Congress Hands Off Our Medicaid!
Friends-
Lawmakers are making decisions this week that could gut Medicaid for millions. We can't afford to stay silent. Flood their inboxes. Let them know: We’re watching.
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 linked below to email your members of Congress to demand they protect Medicaid and the vital services it provides!
