No Health Care Cuts. Period.

Millions of Americans across the country rely on Medicaid to see doctors, fill prescriptions, and get the care they need. They are members of our family, our neighbors, and our community. For them, Medicaid is a lifeline.

But Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have made it crystal clear: they’re coming for Medicaid. This week, Republicans are expected to cement their plans to slash nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, threatening the health care of over 70 million Americans. Their plans could rip away health care from children, people with disabilities, seniors in nursing homes, and hardworking families just to hand out more tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are also going to raise health care costs by taking away critical tax credits from working families. At a time when too many people struggle to pay their bills, working people cannot afford to pay higher premiums for their health insurance.  Unless Republicans in Congress act now, costs will skyrocket by an average of $2,400 for millions of families, and 5 million people will lose their health care, including self-employed Americans, small business owners, people living in high-cost rural areas, farmers, people with pre-existing conditions, older adults, and more.
