Tell Congress: No Cuts to Medicaid! 

Send a message and make a call to help us stop nearly $1 trillion in proposed Medicaid cuts.  

In March, Congress passed a budget resolution that would make extreme cuts to Medicaid. Soon they will be negotiating and voting on the final budget. Now is the time to make our voices heard to stop these cuts!   

Medicaid saves lives. Almost half of all children in New York rely on Medicaid, and many hospitals throughout the state receive the majority of their revenue from Medicaid. If we don’t succeed in stopping the cuts, our patients will lose access to healthcare and entire hospitals could close. 

Take a moment to call and email your representative and tell them to protect Medicaid!
