Our Week of Action to stop nearly $1 trillion in proposed Medicaid cuts begins TODAY! Throughout the week, volunteers are delivering tens of thousands of petition signatures to their Congress members’ district offices all over the country, and we’re increasing the pressure by asking you to make a call to them as well.
It’s clear: the vast majority of Americans, regardless of political party, oppose cutting Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest few. In fact, 3 out of 4 people want to see Medicaid expanded!
To stop these devastating cuts, we need to make our voices heard in every way possible, which is why we’re flooding Congress today with phone calls urging them to protect Medicaid.
Take a moment to call your representative and tell them: hands off Medicaid! Use our hotline 202-978-5357 and feel free to follow our short script:
Hi, my name is _______. I am a constituent and I’m a nurse/other health care worker/patient/Medicaid recipient/ally. I’m calling today to urge you to oppose any cuts to Medicaid. Cuts to Medicaid would take away people’s health care and lead to hospital closures, especially in rural areas, hurting entire communities. This is unacceptable and inhumane. I urge you to vote no on the final budget reconciliation bill if it includes any cuts to Medicaid.
If you find out anything useful from your congressional office, let us know here.
You may have heard that the House voted to adopt the Senate’s budget resolution last week, but they only agreed to a framework to start the process — there’s still time to stop these cuts! Congress still has to draft a final bill with explicit funding details, which both chambers will then have to pass before it makes its way to President Trump’s desk for signature.
By urging enough representatives to defend Medicaid, we have a real chance at keeping these cuts out of the final budget package. House Speaker Mike Johnson said his goal is to get a budget bill to Trump by Memorial Day, so time is of the essence!
Let’s turn the pressure up: make a call using our hotline (202-978-5357), then feel free to let us know how it went.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
