Dear John,
Sixty years ago today, Medicaid was signed into law with a powerful promise: that access to health care should not depend on a family’s financial situation. For six decades, Medicaid has served as a lifeline, protecting children’s health and strengthening communities.
Now, as Medicaid marks this milestone, that promise has been broken.
Congress has passed the largest cuts in program history, putting the health and well-being of millions of children and families at risk.
