Friend, 

Congress is currently considering a budget package that would slash Medicaid funding, putting millions of Americans at risk of losing access to health care. 

Medicaid, a joint federal and state program, is the single largest source of health coverage in the country. Nearly 72 million Americans, including children, pregnant people, parents, seniors with limited incomes, and people with disabilities, rely on Medicaid for essential care, including doctor visits, hospitalizations, long-term care, maternity care, mental health care, and rural clinic services.  

Medicaid ensures Americans have access to basic health care regardless of their economic status or disability. Cuts to the program will almost assuredly threaten care for vulnerable populations and leave millions uninsured.  

The League believes that every US resident should have access to a basic level of quality health care at an affordable cost. Medicaid is essential to protecting the health and dignity of Americans, including new moms and children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Medicaid expansion has been imperative in insuring millions of Americans previously in a coverage gap. 

We must protect Medicaid for the millions who rely on it. Tell Congress not to endanger the health of our country.

Tell Congress not to gut Medicaid. 

Yours in the Fight,

Jessica Jones Capparell
