Oppose the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act". Protect Medicare and Our Communities
2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I'm writing as a concerned North Carolinian to urge you to vote against the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." This legislation threatens to slash Medicare by nearly $500 billion over the next decade, jeopardizing the health and well-being of millions of seniors and disabled individuals who rely on this program.
The Congressional Budget Office warns that the bill's deficit-increasing measures would trigger automatic cuts under the PAYGO law, leading to a 4% annual reduction in Medicare spending. This could result in reduced services, lower provider reimbursements, and increased out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries.
Moreover, the bill proposes significant cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), further endangering vulnerable populations in our state. These programs are lifelines for many, and their reduction would have devastating effects on our communities.
While the bill offers tax breaks that primarily benefit the wealthy, it does so at the expense of essential services for everyday Americans. This approach is not only unjust but also undermines the social safety nets that many in our state depend upon.
I urge you to stand up for the constituents of North Carolina by opposing this bill. Protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP is crucial to ensuring the health and stability of our communities.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
