A little over a week ago, the House of Representatives passed its budget bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This bill permanently expands tax cuts for corporations and wealthy Americans while gutting social services, including Medicaid, for people with limited incomes. With just weeks left in this budget process, we need YOUR help urging Congress to oppose Medicaid cuts.
Medicaid covers 1 in 5 people. This includes children, pregnant people, parents, and people over 65 with limited incomes, as well as people with disabilities. Medicaid enables people to access vital care like doctors’ visits, hospitalizations, long-term care, maternity care, mental health care, and rural clinic services. If the House version of the bill becomes law, more than 10 million people could lose their Medicaid coverage, and 7.6 million people could become uninsured by 2034, according to an estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
The Senate is working to negotiate and pass its version of the bill. Then the House and Senate will resolve the differences and vote on a final bill before sending it to the President. Now is the time to reach out to your Senators and keep the pressure up in the House. We need as many voices as possible demanding that Congress reject legislation with Medicaid cuts.
Please take one minute to send a letter to your members of Congress. The health of our nation depends on it.
