Despite overwhelming public support for Medicaid, the Trump Administration and his allies in Congress are proposing to gut $880 billion from this essential healthcare program in order to pay for major tax cuts for ultra-wealthy individuals and corporations. Cutting Medicaid will put millions of lives at risk, which is why we’re standing with our communities to say NO to healthcare cuts that will hurt families, seniors and children.
You can join us in defending the 80 million Americans who rely on care through Medicaid by urging people in key congressional districts to tell their members of Congress to vote NO on cuts to life-saving and life-sustaining healthcare.

We believe that everyone has a right to healthcare so that our families and communities can thrive. Medicaid is the largest health insurance program in the country, providing healthcare to nearly 80 million people, and has the support of 77% of Americans. In California and across the nation, Medicaid funds the jobs of countless healthcare workers, including long-term care workers who care for our loved ones in nursing homes or their own homes and communities. It covers one in five Americans, including kids, veterans, moms, seniors, people of color, rural Americans, and people with disabilities.
