The U.S. House has advanced the budget bill that proposes hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid over ten years. We need you to speak up today for the two in five children nationwide who rely on Medicaid. Tell your U.S. Senators to protect Medicaid access for kids!
Medicaid provides critical healthcare access to children across the country from all backgrounds, including more than one in three kids in Colorado. The budget bill that was passed out of the House and will now be considered in the Senate proposes deep reductions in federal Medicaid investments that will put financial pressure on states already facing stretched budgets, force hospitals to make difficult tradeoffs that impact their ability to serve all kids, and ultimately threaten children's ability to receive critical pediatric care.
As the U.S. Senate debates this budget proposal, we need you to be the voice for the over 37 million children across the country and nearly half a million children here in Colorado who rely on Medicaid as a lifeline for essential healthcare access. Reach out to your U.S. Senators to tell them to protect Medicaid and put the health and well-being of our children first.
