Protect Medicaid from proposed devastating cuts.
Congress is considering severe cuts to Medicaid that would harm millions of vulnerable Americans. The House and Senate have passed budget resolutions implying up to $880 billion in Medicaid reductions over 10 years.
ELCA social teaching emphasizes something we witness in our lives and the lives of our neighbors - that healthcare is essential to human dignity and a shared responsibility. Medicaid serves one in five Americans, providing vital care to children, elderly individuals and people with disabilities.
These proposed cuts would force difficult choices upon states, potentially reducing coverage, restricting benefits or lowering provider payments. States with high poverty, greater healthcare needs and limited revenue options would suffer most.
Contact your representatives today to oppose these harmful cuts and protect our most vulnerable neighbors.
Thank you for your advocacy.
