I am writing as your constituent to express my deep concern and strong opposition to the proposed cuts to Medicaid. The proposed reductions—amounting to trillions of dollars—would have devastating consequences for millions of Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families who rely on Medicaid for essential healthcare.
These cuts would not only strip healthcare from vulnerable individuals but also place enormous financial pressure on states, hospitals, and healthcare providers. The introduction of per-capita caps, work requirements, and restrictions on Medicaid expansion would disproportionately harm the most at-risk populations and increase overall healthcare costs due to delayed treatment and emergency room overuse.
Medicaid is a lifeline, ensuring that Americans receive preventive care, long-term services, and critical medical treatment. Weakening it would worsen health disparities, push millions into medical debt, and leave families without the care they need to survive and thrive. Instead of reducing Medicaid funding, I urge you to support policies that strengthen and expand access to affordable healthcare.
I implore you to reject any legislative efforts that cut Medicaid and instead advocate for its continued funding and expansion. The well-being of millions of Americans depends on your leadership. Please let me know how you plan to vote on this issue and what steps you will take to protect Medicaid.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
