No Cuts to Medicaid!

Tell Your Members of Congress: No Cuts to Medicaid!

For over 80 million Americans, Medicaid is a lifeline for essential coverage and a foundational source of economic & health security -- yet Medicaid is currently under attack and facing significant spending cuts that would jeopardize so many lives. It is critical that you tell your members of Congress NOW that they cannot cut healthcare for lower income Americans while paying for tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals.

Congressional Republican leadership has openly stated that they propose to cut Medicaid by:

  • Creating a cap to ensure that states receive a limited amount of federal dollars for each beneficiary; aka a per capita cap
  • Turning Medicaid into a block grant program
  • Eliminating the 90% federal match rate for states that have expanded Medicaid
  • Reducing the regular federal match rate
  • Cutting back or eliminating state use of taxes on healthcare providers
  • Instituting work reporting requirements as a condition of eligibility for the program; aka community engagement requirements

These proposals will have a significant detrimental impact on the ability of American families and workers to access comprehensive, affordable healthcare.

Take action today by telling Congress: No Cuts to Medicaid!
