John,
Medicaid is a life-saving program for over 70 million Americans. It provides healthcare to children, seniors, low-income families, and people with disabilities.
But right now, Republicans in Congress are pushing for $880 billion in healthcare cuts over the next decade. They claim it’s about reducing “waste and fraud,” but the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that these cuts will gut Medicaid.
Their real goal? Slashing healthcare for working families while handing out $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. This isn’t just a policy debate, it’s a matter of life and death. If all states had expanded Medicaid, nearly 35,000 lives could have been saved in just four years.
We cannot let Congress strip away the healthcare so many Americans depend on. Tell your members of Congress: Do not cut Medicaid now or ever!
Medicaid ensures access to regular check-ups, early-stage cancer diagnoses, life-saving prescriptions, and critical surgeries. It prevents suffering, reduces emergency room visits, and saves lives. Yet, Republicans see it as a target for cuts while they continue shoveling tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.
If we allow them to gut Medicaid, millions will be left without access to healthcare. People with chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease will suffer. Children will lose preventive care. The elderly will struggle to afford basic medical needs. This is not a future we can allow.
History has proven that Medicaid expansion reduces mortality rates, improves quality of life, and strengthens our healthcare system. Slashing it to fund billionaire tax cuts is morally bankrupt.
It’s time for Congress to hear from us loud and clear: Medicaid is a right, not a privilege. Cutting it is unacceptable.
Republicans are banking on the public being too distracted to fight back but we see through their cruel agenda.
