I am writing to urge you to oppose any attempt to slash $2.3 trillion from Medicaid. These cuts would cause unthinkable harm to Americans of all ages—from seniors in long-term care to infants needing vital medical attention. Medicaid is not just another government program; it is a lifeline for over 80 million people, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and rural Americans. That’s 1 in 4 Americans who rely on Medicaid to stay healthy and financially stable.
Gutting Medicaid would have devastating consequences:
• Seniors abandoned in long-term care facilities, forcing families into impossible choices.
• Millions of children losing access to preventive care, including vaccines and check-ups.
• People with disabilities losing critical services, impacting their independence and well-being.
• Families facing bankruptcy from medical bills they simply cannot afford.
• Rural hospitals at risk of closing, leaving entire communities without medical care.
Republicans are pushing to rip healthcare away from millions just to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Rushing through these cuts will send insurance costs skyrocketing and devastate working families. This is not just bad policy—it is cruel and inhumane.
Medicaid is NOT just a safety net—it is a HUMAN RIGHT. It is a fundamental promise that no American should be left without the healthcare they need. I urge you to stand up against these cuts and protect the millions of Americans who count on Medicaid to survive.
Please fight for your constituents, for our children, for our seniors, for the most vulnerable among us. Do not let Medicaid be gutted. Lives are at stake.
I look forward to your response and to seeing your leadership in protecting Medicaid.
