Call your lawmakers today and demand that they protect health care for millions of people

Ayanna Pressley for Congress

Friend, House Republicans are advancing a spending plan that Trump has called a “big, beautiful bill.” There is nothing beautiful about making people poorer, sicker, or more vulnerable.

This is a bill that would cut $880 billion from Medicaid, rip away healthcare from 14 million people, and raise healthcare costs for millions more. Not to save money, but to bankroll tax cuts for Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s billionaire friends. Billionaires who don’t need another dime. These are people who will never face the agony of choosing between groceries and insulin.

Medicaid is not some line item on a spreadsheet. Medicaid is health care. Medicaid is a lifeline. No one should be in the business of taking away health care from people.

Cutting Medicaid would hurt folks from every walk of life and at every stage of their life. This Republican reconciliation bill guts the programs that hold our communities together — Medicaid, but also SNAP, Head Start, and the VA. Programs that give people a fighting chance.

Medicaid cuts are unpopular, and if we can make our message loud and clear right now, we can stop this spending plan from passing. Call your lawmakers today and urge them to vote NO. By clicking this link, we’ll direct your call and provide you a short script. It’ll only take a few minutes — and make a huge difference.

Medicaid covers 2 out of 5 births in this country. Slashing Medicaid will only accelerate the maternal health crisis and widen the racial disparities that already harm Black women in my district — MA-07 — and across the country.

Half of the children in America are covered by Medicaid. It allows people with complex chronic conditions to afford the medications they need to stay alive.

And 10% of Medicaid enrollees are over the age of 60. It allows our elders and our neighbors with disabilities to receive care in their homes and to stay in their communities.

Policy is not abstract. Policy and budgets determine who lives and who dies. And under this bill, people will literally die.

It only takes four Republicans of conscience to do the right thing and protect Medicaid. Four to stand with the people that they serve, instead of being a cult of cowards, complicit in the wholesale harm of our people. Now is the time to call on Congress to reject this shameful bill.

Today, let’s make sure they hear us. Take a few minutes and call your lawmakers to demand they protect Medicaid and the millions of people who are counting on it — along with other essential programs. Click here, and we’ll direct you to your members of Congress’ office lines.
