Dear Friend,
The House is voting today on a budget that will cut Medicaid, which would jeopardize health care for more than 1.4 million Kentuckians.
House Republicans have crafted a budget that gives huge tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy and struggling Kentucky families will pay the price. To make this happen, Republicans are planning to cut $880 billion from Medicaid with another $230 billion from SNAP benefits that support struggling families.
For every $1 Kentucky spends on Medicaid, the federal government contributes about $5. These dollars flow through our hospitals and pharmacies into our state’s economy.
Governor Beshear has raised the alarm, stating: "Medicaid is the driving force behind rural health care. Without it, we'll see hospital closures. We'll see losses of jobs for nurses, doctors and everybody else who works in those facilities. But the worst thing is, we'll see our families having to drive two hours, sometimes just to get a regular appointment to keep them healthy."
President Trump has insisted he will not touch Medicaid. Despite this, he has endorsed the House budget plan that includes these cuts.
These Medicaid cuts would hit our most vulnerable neighbors the hardest. Families in rural areas could lose access to health care and struggle to get essential medications. As Kentucky's largest source of federal funding, Medicaid also supports our entire state's economy.
Can you please donate today to help us fight these cuts? [[link removed]] Your contribution will help inform voters about what's at stake and help us support Democrats who fight to protect life-saving programs that Kentucky families rely on.
