In just days, the U.S. Senate is expected to take a vote on the so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” — a sweeping, fast-tracked bill that will add trillions to the debt, gut Medicaid, slash nutritional assistance programs and rip away critical care from older Americans.

Why? To bankroll massive tax cuts that mainly benefit the ultra-rich and huge corporations.

We’re sounding the alarm now — before it’s too late. The clock is ticking. Add your name to our EMERGENCY PETITION urging your U.S. Senators to REJECT this disastrous bill.

This bill could:

• Shut down nursing homes and in-home care agencies across the country.
• Strip 1.4 million low-income seniors of help paying for prescriptions, doctors’ visits and essential care.
• Slash SNAP benefits, leaving many seniors to choose between groceries and medicine.
• Leave those aging in place with no safety net, forcing them into expensive emergency care — or worse.

This is not fiscal policy. It’s cruelty, dressed up as tax reform. If passed, this bill would leave millions of older Americans without care, without food and without the basic dignity they deserve.

The bottom line on this budget bill is this: millions of older adults will be harmed in order to help finance more tax cuts for the wealthiest among us and huge corporations, and the resulting increase in the nation’s debt will hurt everyone through higher inflation and a slowing economy.

And with the Senate working in secret, behind closed doors, this could all be signed into law before the public even knows what hit them.

It’s as if some GOP Senators don’t care how this bill will devastate the well-being and health of millions of older Americans and our nation’s most vulnerable citizens. At a recent townhall in Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst (IA) replied to backlash about how people will die because of the GOP bill, saying flippantly: “Well, we’re all going to die.”

Right now, the National Committee is meeting with lawmakers, engaging media and organizing coast to coast. But we need a massive show of grassroots pressure to stop this bill cold.

Time is running out. If this bill passes, it will open the door to even deeper cuts to Social Security and Medicare next.

Tell the Senate: The health and well-being of millions of older Americans will not be sacrificed for billionaire tax breaks.

Thank you for standing with us at this pivotal moment.

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
