Dear Friend,

"My adopted son, who is now 7 years old, is autistic and has ADHD. He
receives Medicaid because of his adoption. My husband and I are both on
fixed incomes due to being 100% disabled veterans… Medicaid is our saving
grace for our son.” ―Victoria in Sierra Vista, AZ

[ [link removed] ]Quick signature! Medicaid cuts could eliminate health care access for
people like Victoria and TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans. Sign now to tell
Republican leadership in Congress: Hands off our Medicaid! *When you click

What’s happening? Last week, the Republican-led U.S. House of
Representatives passed a budget resolution that would cut at least $880
billion in Medicaid funding through 2034—[ [link removed] ]that would affect 72 million
Americans who use this critical program for their health insurance. [1]
Why are they doing this? Because Republican leadership in Congress is
prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires and corporations at the expense of
the health needs of families across the nation! [2]

Medicaid is a critical lifeline that people across the country use to
access health care. It ensures that children and people can see doctors
when they get sick, seniors can receive long-term care and be in nursing
homes, and that people with disabilities can access the services they need
to live independently. This program also supports rural hospitals, creates
health care jobs, and strengthens our economy. Unfortunately, Republican
leaders in Congress are barreling toward a budget that will make drastic
cuts to this essential program. This reckless move will strip health care
services from children, families, seniors, new parents, people with
disabilities, and low-income people across the country—the very people who
need health care access the most.

Not only is Medicaid crucial for our health, the economic benefits of
Medicaid cannot be overstated. When people have access to preventive care,
they're more likely to stay healthy and productive—and this saves
healthcare dollars in the long run for all of us. Families also avoid
medical debt and children perform better in school when their health needs
are met. And research has even shown that children with Medicaid coverage
grow up to earn and contribute more to the economy as adults. [3]

If these cuts become reality, millions will lose coverage, benefits will
be reduced, and waiting lists for services will significantly increase.
States will be forced to make impossible choices about who receives care
and who doesn't.

Congress: Hands off our Medicaid!

When you click on our action link you'll automatically sign our petition
that reads:

Dear Congress,

We demand that you protect Medicaid funding and oppose any budget cuts,
block grants, or per capita caps that would threaten health care access
for millions of Americans. Medicaid is essential for more than 72
million Americans, including children, families, seniors, new parents,
people with disabilities, and people across the country. It keeps our
hospitals open, creates jobs in our communities, and strengthens our
economy.

We urge you to reject any proposal that would cut Medicaid funding or
restructure the program in ways that reduce coverage. Instead, we urge
you to support policies that strengthen and expand Medicaid access and
put healthcare access for your constituents above tax cuts for the
wealthy and corporations. The health and well-being of our nation truly
depends on it—hands off our Medicaid!

Americans across the country have come together to protect health care and
Medicaid before—and we must do it again! It’s time to speak out loudly
about why Medicaid matters.

The more people who take action, the bigger our impact, so consider taking
a moment to [ [link removed] ]share our action link—and even forward this email or post
the action link on social media—with your friends and family.

Thank you for taking action to protect Medicaid for millions of Americans.
Together, our voices are powerful.
