NBC News just confirmed our worst fears: Republican cuts to Medicaid to pay for massive tax giveaways for billionaires will result in millions of Americans losing access to healthcare—including seniors in nursing homes, kids with disabilities, and patients who rely on rural hospitals that may be forced to shut their doors.
John, one of our best chances to stop them is making sure lawmakers hear what these cuts mean to real people.
In a recent hearing, Rep. Ayanna Pressley put a human face on the issue, telling Republicans about a 70‑year‑old mom still working hospice shifts to cover care for her special‑needs son—even with Medicaid. Her story broke through the noise.
Now other members of Congress are asking for real‑life stories they can share on the House floor. Your voice could be the one that turns the tide.
Do you or a loved one rely on Medicaid?
Work in healthcare and see the impact firsthand?
→ YES: Share your front‑line perspective so Congress can’t ignore the damage.
Can’t share a story right now?
Medicaid provides health care for tens of millions of children, working adults, pregnant women and people with disabilities. Medicaid also pays for almost half of all long-term care in the United States.
Real stories change votes. Let’s make sure Republicans have to look their constituents in the eye before they rip away lifesaving care.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

P.S. Medicaid cuts don’t just hurt its enrollees—when rural hospitals close or scale back, entire communities lose emergency rooms, maternity wards, and jobs. So even if you don’t personally rely on Medicaid, this fight still finds its way to your doorstep. Watch the clip, share any story you can, and, if you’re able, chip in $3 to help Rep. Pressley keep hospitals' lights on for everyone.
