Protect Medicaid – Urge Congress to Oppose Devastating Cuts! 

Proposals to make drastic cuts to Medicaid funding are gaining momentum in Congress, threatening the health and well-being of millions of Americans, including children, seniors, and individuals with Autism and other disabilities. Cuts could come in many forms. These cuts would severely impact people with Autism and their families, eliminating access to essential health services and long-term services and supports. 

Key Facts: 

Medicaid is the nation’s primary payer of long-term services and supports (LTSS), including home and community-based services (HCBS) that allow individuals to live in their communities instead of institutions.  

Medicaid and CHIP provide health coverage to nearly half of all U.S. children—over 37 million children rely on these programs. 

Medicaid serves over 17 million people with disabilities and older adults, including those with Autism, by covering critical services that most other insurance plans do not. 

Cutting Medicaid would dismantle this lifeline, jeopardizing care for our nation’s most vulnerable populations.
