Protect Medicaid - essential healthcare safety net

Cutting Medicaid, a vital program providing healthcare for over 80 million Americans including older adults, children, pregnant individuals, and disabled people, would be detrimental to everyday Americans' wellbeing and force difficult trade-offs between medical needs and basic living expenses. Reducing Medicaid benefits or coverage to fund tax cuts favoring large corporations and the wealthy is an unacceptable approach that jeopardizes state budgets and raises costs for vulnerable populations. Maintaining robust Medicaid funding is essential to upholding the promise of affordable healthcare access for all. Tax reform must not come at the expense of this critical safety net program.
