Congress must not slash Medicaid funding. Cutting Medicaid would devastate over 80 million Americans, including 17 million older adults and individuals with disabilities who rely on this vital program for healthcare and essential home and community-based services. Medicaid cuts would weaken the service system for people with disabilities by impacting millions of caregivers and home-based service providers paid through Medicaid. Family caregivers, many already struggling financially, would face even greater hardship. Any reductions to Medicaid will disproportionately harm children, seniors, and the disabled community. There is no justification for compromising on this issue, as Medicaid cuts will undoubtedly cause harm to our most vulnerable populations. Protect Medicaid's funding to safeguard the services millions depend on to live with dignity.
