Since the beginning of Medicaid Awareness Month, headlines across the country have laid bare the growing crisis facing families after Republicans slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. The impact is devastating and touches the lives of millions of Americans who depend on Medicaid for life-saving care. From Colorado to West Virginia, people are sounding the alarm: people with disabilities facing deep cuts, families fearing the loss of stability, hospitals and providers warning of closures, and entire communities bracing for devastating outcomes. As Republicans’ deep Medicaid cuts take effect, these stories will only multiply.
