Congressional leaders have signaled plans to slash Medicaid in order to offset tax cuts for the rich – and they’re moving quickly.
These cuts would devastate over 80 million people, including 17 million older adults and individuals with disabilities, who rely on Medicaid for healthcare and essential home and community-based services.
Medicaid cuts would weaken the service system for people with disabilities, as millions of caregivers and home-based service providers are paid through Medicaid. Family caregivers, many of whom are already struggling to make ends meet, would face greater hardship.
There is no room for compromise—any cuts to Medicaid will cause harm, disproportionately impacting children, older adults, and people with disabilities.
We must act now. Fill out the form to email your members of Congress to demand they protect Medicaid and the vital services it provides!
