Last week, the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) released new data on the impact of Trump and the GOP’s proposed cuts to Medicaid, and it’s dire.
In total, 16 million Americans will lose their health care coverage, including more than 300,000 Washingtonians. And rural communities in Central and Eastern Washington will be hit the hardest.
Maria has been sounding the alarm for months about how these cuts will hurt Washingtonians, and now as the budget bill heads to the Senate, she’s ready to keep fighting.
We need a wave of grassroots energy ASAP to show Maria we’re with her in this fight. Pitch in any amount right away →
From Wenatchee to Spokane to Seattle, Maria has been crisscrossing the state to hear directly from Washingtonians who would be directly impacted by cuts to Medicaid.
The feedback from doctors, patients, and health care providers alike is clear, and confirmed by the JEC’s newest report:
Trump and the GOP’s proposed cuts will devastate Washington’s health care system and severely limit access to lifesaving care.
Here’s what’s at stake if these reckless cuts move forward: Forty-seven percent of Washington’s children could lose access to vital care. Rural hospitals in Central and Eastern Washington are warning they may have to close their doors. Emergency response services could be delayed for those in critical need. People with chronic illnesses could lose life-saving treatment.
Maria is holding the line to stop these devastating cuts and protect Washingtonians and Americans everywhere from being kicked off their health care, and she’s not backing down now. Are you with her?
