This summer, advocates like you worked hard to defeat a dangerous health care bill that would have included massive cuts to Medicaid. We need your help to reinforce this message once again, as new proposals are being introduced that include similar threats.
Key Senators and the White House are working together to create a bill called the Graham-Cassidy plan (you can learn more about it here). This bill would block grant and make huge cuts to the Medicaid program, and end the Medicaid expansion and marketplace subsidies.
In short, it would be devastating to people with disabilities and their families and threaten access to community living.
Act now: Last month the Senate parliamentarian issued an opinion that the deadline for the current budget reconciliation process is September 30. This means fewer votes are needed to pass this bill until then, so take action NOW!
Thank you for your work to protect Medicaid!
Proposed Medicaid cuts would have a devastating impact on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
