Dear Friend,
Everyone should be able to see a doctor when they get sick. Everyone.
After President Biden called out Republicans during the State of the Union
about proposing to cut Medicare and Social Security, Republicans relented
and agreed not to cut those programs. [ [link removed] ] But now Republican leaders are
setting their sights on cutting other critical healthcare programs for
parents and families like: Medicaid, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act
(ACA). [ [link removed] ] [1]THIS IS NOT OKAY!

What’s happening? In order to win over far-right Republicans to become
Speaker of the House, Rep. Kevin McCarthy agreed to hold the debt ceiling
increase hostage in order to extract cuts to crucial programs like
Medicaid, CHIP, and the ACA. [ [link removed] ] It is critical that we come together to
protect these healthcare programs that provide crucial healthcare coverage
to millions of families across the country.
More than half of America’s children receive health coverage through
Medicaid and CHIP. These healthcare programs ensure that children and
families have access to essential medical care, including preventive
services, prescription drugs, and maternity care. Without this coverage,
millions of families would be unable to afford the health care they need,
leading to worse health outcomes and higher medical costs in the long run.
These programs are a safety net for families during times of economic
hardship, when losing health coverage can be catastrophic.

Medicaid, CHIP, and the ACA not only play a critical role in supporting
families’ health, these programs also reduce income inequality and benefit
our economy. With over a decade worth of data, it is clear that the
Affordable Care Act and its expansion of Medicaid reduced income
inequality in states that fully embraced the law. [ [link removed] ] These programs are
critical for low-income families, communities of color, disabled
individuals, and elderly people.
Access to healthcare coverage also boosts our economy by enabling
individuals to stay healthy and productive, reducing the cost of lost
productivity and absenteeism. Additionally, health care is a critical
component of job creation, as it enables people to be able to start small
businesses without the fear of losing their health care and supports the
growth of healthcare-related industries.

Dear Congress,
Everyone deserves to have access to health care. Medicaid, CHIP, and the
Affordable Care Act are lifelines for children and families across the
United States. They ensure people can receive essential medical care and
protect families from financial catastrophe.
Access to healthcare coverage also boosts our economy by enabling
individuals to stay healthy and productive, reducing the cost of lost
productivity and absenteeism. Additionally, health care is a critical
component of job creation, as it enables people to be able to start
small businesses without the fear of losing their health care and
supports the growth of healthcare-related industries.
Cutting these programs would be a step backward in our efforts to build
a healthier and stronger economy and society. We should expand access to
health care, not cut it! Say NO to any proposed cuts to these critical
programs.
The bottom line is, we must ensure that millions of families continue to
have access to the health care they need and deserve by protecting
Medicaid, CHIP, and the ACA. Thank you for joining us in the fight to
protect our health care!
The more people who speak out, the bigger our impact. Please take a moment
