Medicaid provides health care to 1 in 5 Americans and supports millions of people with disabilities to live independently. With the coronavirus pandemic, Medicaid is more important now than ever – but state Medicaid programs are at an even greater risk. Oklahoma is asking the federal government for permission to put limits on their state’s Medicaid program. This would make it harder for people to get coverage and easier for people who are already on Medicaid to get kicked off. Other states are also interested in similar proposals. You can learn more

Tell the federal government: No cuts to Medicaid in Oklahoma or anywhere!
We have until June 26 to submit comments to stop this proposal.
The government must read all of these comments before they make a decision. Tell them why Medicaid is essential. Tell them to end the attack on Medicaid. Your personal story is important!
- If you or someone you know receives Medicaid, share some information about why Medicaid is important to you.
- How does Medicaid help you to manage your health conditions and live independently?
- If you need access to transportation to get to your medical appointments, tell the federal government not to limit access to non-emergency medical transportation.
