I urge you to vote against the House GOP budget resolution due to the detrimental impact the proposed $800 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade would have. Medicaid provides vital healthcare coverage to over 72 million Americans, including significant portions of rural and Hispanic communities. Slashing this program would strip millions of their access to essential medical care. While fiscal responsibility is important, it should not come at the expense of our most vulnerable citizens' wellbeing. The potential consequences of these draconian Medicaid cuts are too severe to justify their purported cost savings. I implore you to protect this crucial safety net program and reject any budget that undermines Medicaid's ability to serve those who depend on it.
