Take time to contact your Members of Congress and urge them to save Medicaid from any cuts, whether through budget reconciliation or other legislation. You can remind them that: 

Medicaid cuts would devastate your community by taking health insurance coverage away from millions, including kids, people in nursing homes, pregnant and postpartum people, and those living with a disability or chronic conditions, and that Medicaid cuts would increase health care costs for everyone, including medical debt for millions and destabilize hospitals, health centers, and other providers that we all rely on, especially in rural communities. 

If you know that your Representative or Senator(s) are supportive of reproductive rights, consider stressing that any cut to Medicaid will be yet another cut to sexual and reproductive health care access for low-income and underserved communities.

You can reach your Members of Congress through a hotline at 866-426-2631.
