Our fight to stop nearly $1 trillion in proposed cuts to Medicaid continues as House Republicans try to finalize the details of their budget bill as we speak.
The good news is, our pressure is working. Republicans in Congress were originally aiming to have the details completed by today, but reports suggest there is major internal disagreement – mostly over whether or not to include the proposed Medicaid cuts.1
We can’t stop now, though. It is critical that we keep on the pressure as cracks in their coalition begin to show. We could find out as soon as next week what their final budget package looks like, including how much and what form cuts to Medicaid will ultimately take.
Right now is our best chance to stop the Republican majority from slashing Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for the rich — can you make a phone call today to stop these devastating cuts?
Call your representative using our hotline (202-978-5357) and urge them to vote against ANY cuts to Medicaid! You can use or adapt our short script:
Hi, my name is _______. I am a constituent and I’m a nurse/other health care worker/patient/Medicaid recipient/ally from _______. 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 speak to staff in their office and they give you the members’ position on Medicaid cuts, let us know here.
It’s now or never, . These cuts are deeply unpopular, and House Republicans are feeling the pressure. Even if you have already made a call to your member of Congress, please make another today!
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
