Defend Medicaid Days of Action

Tuesday, May 6 – Wednesday, May 7

Send Congress a Clear Message: #HandsOffMedicaid

We’re at a critical moment in our efforts to defend Medicaid, a vital program that provides affordable health care coverage to millions of people. Congressional leaders continue to rush forward, preparing to cut billions of dollars from the Medicaid program to pay for new tax breaks that only benefit the wealthy and big corporations.

These cuts will terminate healthcare for people who can least afford it and reduce states’ funding to pay for public services—all while doing nothing to crack down on the corporate greed that’s driving up our costs.

During these days of action and in the coming weeks, Families USA, along with Community Catalyst, the National Health Law Program (NHeLP), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and hundreds of national and state partners will continue to speak directly to Congress and tell them to keep their “Hands Off Medicaid.

For Congress to hear us loud and clear, we need you to join us and make your voice heard.

“Hands Off Medicaid” is about protecting a lifeline for millions of working families, children, veterans, older adults, people with disabilities and many more, so they can still get the health care they need. This page has tools for you to engage local media outlets, post on social platforms, send emails and letters to Congress, and call your elected officials. It’s time to raise our voices and signal to Congress that Medicaid matters to millions of Americans across every state in the nation.
