[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
If the Senate passes Donald Trump and the GOP’s “one big beautiful” budget
bill, it will be a disaster for our nation’s health care.
The House already passed its version of the bill, which would slash more
than $1 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs
to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
If the Senate successfully passes it, this is what we can expect:

Republican leaders say their goal is to pass this devastating bill in the
Senate and get it on Trump’s desk for his signature by July 4th — that
gives us just a few weeks left to stop it.
But there’s reason to hope: some Senate Republicans have expressed doubts
about a variety of the budget’s components, especially as public outrage
grows. YOU live in a state with at least one Republican senator, and your
voice can make a difference.
This bill is NOT a done deal. Help us block it by using our hotline at
202-978-5357 to call your Senator and urge them to vote NO on any cuts to
Medicaid and Medicare! Feel free to use our suggested script:
Hi, my name is _______. I am a constituent from Pennsylvania and a
nurse/other health care worker/patient/Medicaid recipient. I’m calling
today to urge you to oppose any cuts to Medicare or Medicaid. Cuts to
these vital programs would take away people’s health care and lead to
hospital closures, especially in rural areas, hurting entire communities.
This is unacceptable and inhumane. I urge you to vote no on the final
budget reconciliation bill if it includes any cuts to Medicare or
Medicaid.
Thank you for making your voice heard in this pivotal moment in the fight
to protect our care.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
