Protect Medicaid: No Tax Cuts for Billionaires at the Expense of Healthcare

Dear Pamela, Congress is gearing up to strip away essential healthcare that over 80 million Americans rely on, just to hand even bigger tax cuts to billionaires.   House Republicans, with President Trump's support, have put forward a budget that would slash $880 billion from Medicaid as they try to permanently extend the 2017 tax cuts that primarily benefited the wealthy. We cannot stand by as tax cuts for the rich come on the backs of vulnerable Americans. Now is the time to raise our voices and demand that Congress reject these devastating cuts. Sign and Send According to research from The Century Foundation, $880 billion translates to the cost of covering: All 31 million children on Medicaid 4.7 million older people, and 3.7 million people with disabilities on Medicaid These cuts will be devastating for tens of millions of Americans in every corner of the country—particularly red states and rural counties. Elon Musk and Donald Trump don't have to worry about affording insulin, the price of groceries, or balancing multiple jobs to make ends meet. But their voters sure do. Contact your members of Congress today and let them know you oppose these cruel cuts to Medicaid.
