An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Invest in Medicaid for America- don’t cut in any form!!!

40 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing to urge you to protect and strengthen Medicaid, a program that is not just a safety net but an investment in America’s future. Medicaid provides healthcare to millions of children, ensuring that they have the foundation to grow into the leaders, innovators, and workers who will drive our country forward. When we fail to support our most vulnerable, we don’t just create suffering—we lose out on the potential of an entire generation. History has shown that genius and talent are not determined by wealth. The next great scientist, teacher, entrepreneur, or public servant could be growing up in poverty right now. Without access to healthcare, many of these children face preventable illnesses, developmental setbacks, and chronic conditions that limit their ability to thrive. Instead of focusing on their education and aspirations, they are forced to navigate a system that does not prioritize their well-being. Denying children and low-income families the healthcare they need creates a ripple effect that hurts all of us. Unchecked illness leads to lower school performance, fewer opportunities, and higher long-term costs for our economy. When we invest in Medicaid, we are not just helping individual families—we are ensuring a healthier, more educated, and more productive workforce. The American dream is built on opportunity, but opportunity cannot exist without a basic level of support. If we allow the Medicaid gap to widen, we are not just hurting the poor—we are creating a future where America loses its best and brightest simply because they were born into hardship. I urge you to champion Medicaid and fight against any cuts that would harm the next generation. The cost of inaction is too great—not just for those who depend on Medicaid, but for the future of our nation.
