NO CUTS TO MEDICAID
Republicans in Congress want to give $1.5 TRILLION in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations over the next decade. To pay for it they are targeting $880 BILLION worth of cuts from Medicaid which in California funds MediCal.
Over 15 million Californians rely on Medicaid funding for their healthcare – that’s 1 of every 3 people. Medicaid pays for healthcare for children, people with disabilities, seniors, and workers who don’t get health coverage through their employers.
Even people who have private insurance will feel the impact of these devastating cuts – as hospitals and nursing homes close, emergency rooms become more crowded, and the price of health care goes up.
Nationally we need to get three Republican Congressional Members to vote NO on any cuts to Medicaid to stop the bill from passing. In California we have 4 districts we’re targeting:
