Advocate,

Congress is negotiating to raise the debt limit and is considering a deal that would implement work requirements as a condition of eligibility for key programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This proposal would be harmful to people living with CF and we must speak out.

While many in the CF community can and do work, their ability to do so can vary over time. Programs like Medicaid and SNAP help many people with CF manage their health, and the ability to work should not be a barrier in accessing those vital resources.   

All people with CF must be able to access the high-quality, specialized care they need to live longer, healthier lives. Work requirements will significantly hinder that access.

Tell your member of Congress today: no work requirements.

Thank you for all you do,

David Elin

Senior Director, Advocacy and Government Affairs
