Write Your Member of Congress Urging Them to Stop the Medicaid Cuts

This is an URGENT CALL TO ACTION. Congress needs to hear from YOU on how devasting the potential $880 billion cuts to Medicaid would be.

Now that the House and Senate have adopted budget resolutions – the first step in the reconciliation process – the House plans to discuss Medicaid in the Energy and Commerce Committee in early May and pass a bill out of the House and Senate before the end of May. But they are negotiating behind the scenes right now. 

Please WRITE and CALL your member of Congress in their district and DC offices to TELL THEM how these cuts would impact your patients, hospitals, clinics and community

SEND A LETTER HERE

For calls, first: 
•    ASK to speak to the healthcare/Medicaid staffer.

Then tell them:
•    WHO you are.
•    WHERE you live and/or practice.
•    WHAT your specialty/practice is.
•    HOW cuts will affect your patients, practice setting, and ability to provide care.


Personal calls and handwritten letters get the most attention. So calls and letters (and then sharing your action if you’re active on social media) are the preferred method of outreach. Please encourage your friends, family and patients to reach out as well.

Sharing that you are taking part in this fight is important. Speak up NOW.
