Medicaid is a lifeline for 80 million Americans, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. It provides critical health care and access to housing, helping individuals remain stably housed and live healthier lives. As Congress negotiates budget reconciliation, up to $2.3 trillion in Medicaid funding is at risk! Low-income individuals and families will be hardest hit by cuts to Medicaid, jeopardizing their health, well-being, and housing stability. The loss of Medicaid could drive more individuals into homelessness or keep them there significantly longer as their medical costs become unmanageable.   

We need your help to protect Medicaid and ensure that these critical services remain available. Please join us by contacting your members of Congress and urging them to oppose any cuts to Medicaid funding.

"Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I am a constituent from [Your City, Your State]. I am calling to urge [Senator/Representative's Name] to protect Medicaid funding. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Americans, providing essential health coverage for older adults, people with disabilities, and children. It includes long-term care, preventive services, and mental health treatment, and it significantly improves health outcomes, lowers mortality rates, and enhances educational and economic opportunities.

Cutting Medicaid funding would have devastating effects on our community. It could drive more individuals into homelessness as their medical costs become unmanageable and reduce critical services for those experiencing homelessness and housing instability. Please protect Medicaid and ensure it remains available to those who need it most.

Thank you for your time and consideration."
