An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Oppose Medicaid Cuts - Billionaires Must Pay Fair Taxes!

166 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I am writing to express my strong and unequivocal opposition to the proposed Republican budget that slashes Medicaid funding—putting millions of Americans, including the most vulnerable disabled individuals, children, and seniors, at risk. This reckless plan is not about fiscal responsibility; it is a direct attack on those who rely on Medicaid for survival, all while prioritizing tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy who must pay their fair share. These Medicaid cuts will have devastating consequences: • Disabled Americans will face reduced access to home and community-based services, leaving many without the care they need to live independently. • Children and low-income families will be forced to forgo necessary medical treatments. • Seniors in nursing homes who depend on Medicaid will be left with no options for care. Slashing Medicaid to fund corporate giveaways and tax breaks for billionaires is not only morally bankrupt—it is an economic disaster that will raise healthcare costs for everyone. Without Medicaid, emergency rooms will be overwhelmed, uncompensated care will skyrocket, and local hospitals will suffer. I plead that you stand up against these cruel, unnecessary cuts and instead work to strengthen Medicaid, ensuring all Americans have access to the healthcare they need. Congress must hold the wealthiest individuals and corporations accountable and demand that they contribute fairly to our nation’s economy, rather than making the most vulnerable among us suffer. I urge you to vote against any budget that threatens Medicaid and instead push for policies that expand, not gut, essential healthcare programs. I—and millions of other Americans—will be watching closely to see whether you fight for your constituents or cave to special interests. There is no excuse for balancing the budget on the backs of the disabled, the sick, and the poor. Do the right thing and reject these cuts.
