Protect Medicaid

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a constituent from [YOUR TOWN, ZIP].

I'm calling about the Medicaid cuts in the 2025 budget law.

I'm asking [SENATOR / REPRESENTATIVE LAST NAME] to protect Medicaid, to oppose deeper cuts, and to restore what was taken, especially the home and community based services families depend on.

[My family relies on Medicaid, and losing it would change our whole life.]

Can you tell me where [SENATOR / REPRESENTATIVE LAST NAME] stands on protecting Medicaid? Thank you for your time.

Please protect Medicaid for families in our state

Dear [SENATOR / REPRESENTATIVE LAST NAME],

I'm a constituent from [YOUR TOWN, ZIP], and I'm writing about the Medicaid cuts in the 2025 budget law.

The law cuts about 911 billion dollars from federal Medicaid spending over ten years and adds paperwork to prove you're working plus twice-a-year eligibility checks. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 10 million more people uninsured by 2034, with about 7.5 million of that from the Medicaid and CHIP cuts. Medicaid covers about one in five Americans, about 4 in 10 kids, and most people in nursing homes, and it pays for the home care that keeps disabled and older people out of institutions. Analysts also warn rural hospitals are at serious risk.

[My family relies on Medicaid because ...]

I'm asking you to protect Medicaid, to oppose any further cuts, and to work to restore what was taken, especially home and community based services.

Please tell me where you stand. I'd appreciate a written response.

Thank you,

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a constituent from [YOUR TOWN, ZIP].

I'm calling about Medicaid. The 2025 federal law cut Medicaid and pushed big decisions onto states, and our state is deciding how to carry them out.

I want [STATE LEGISLATOR / GOVERNOR LAST NAME] to protect Medicaid coverage here, to fully fund home and community based services, and to keep new paperwork from pushing eligible people off.

[My family depends on a Medicaid waiver and community services to live at home.]

Where does [STATE LEGISLATOR / GOVERNOR LAST NAME] stand on protecting Medicaid? Thank you.

Protect Medicaid and home and community based services in our state

Dear [TITLE AND LAST NAME],

I'm a constituent from [YOUR TOWN, ZIP], writing about Medicaid here at home.

The 2025 federal budget law cut Medicaid and left states to decide much of what happens next. Our state runs Medicaid, so decisions about work requirements, eligibility checks, and home and community based services land right here.

I'm asking you to protect Medicaid coverage, to fully fund home and community based services so disabled and older people can stay in their homes, and to keep new paperwork from pushing eligible families off the program.

Please tell me where you stand. I'd appreciate a written response.

Thank you,

Heads up. The 2025 budget law cuts about 911 billion dollars from federal Medicaid spending over ten years, and the CBO expects 10 million more people uninsured by 2034, with the biggest changes starting January 2027. Medicaid covers about 4 in 10 kids in America, most nursing home residents, and the home care that keeps disabled people out of institutions, and it keeps rural hospitals open. Please call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and your state officials, and ask them to protect Medicaid. Two minutes.
