Medicaid is essential for millions of women’s care needs at every stage of life. We must tell Congress: No cuts to Medicaid! #WomensHistoryMonth #ProtectMedicaid

Our country’s families deserve better options and opportunities to care for themselves and their loved ones without worrying about losing their care. Our nation’s leaders must put families first and end these harmful attacks on life-saving programs. #ProtectMedicaid

R9a: Ha llegado el momento de decirle claramente a nuestros representantes electos por qué Medicaid es importante para nuestras comunidades. Pueden ayudar: ✅ Llamando a sus líderes en el Congreso: go.caringacross.org/a/no-cuts-me...

A9a: Now is the time to make clear to the elected officials who represent us why Medicaid matters to our communities. #WellnessWed Here’s how you can make an impact: ✅Call your Congressional leaders: go.caringacross.org/a/no-cuts-me...

R8a: Medicaid paga por más servicios de salud conductual en el país que cualquier otra organización, incluyendo servicios de salud mental y tratamiento para el abuso de sustancias.

A8: Medicaid is the largest payer of behavioral health services, including mental health and substance use. Medicaid plays a pivotal role in the response to the mental health crisis by providing access to care for many who would otherwise not be able to afford it. #WellnessWed

R7a: Los efectos a largo plazo pueden incluir: ✖️La pérdida de cobertura de millones de personas, incluyendo niños, ancianos y discapacitados que tratan de vivir y envejecer en su hogar y personas que tienen enfermedades crónicas. #WellnessWed

A7a: Lasting effects of Medicaid cuts would include: ✖️A loss of health care coverage for millions of people, including children, older adults, and disabled people seeking to live and age at home, and people with chronic illness;  #WellnessWed

R6a: Las disparidades raciales y étnicas persisten en Estados Unidos debido a inequidades en el acceso a servicios de salud y otros factores socioeconómicos. #WellnessWed

A6a: Racial and ethnic disparities in health remain persistent in the United States, driven by inequities in access to health care and social and economic factors that drive health. #WellnessWed

Medicaid es una fuente importante de fondos para servicios de salud materna, incluyendo servicios para embarazos, prenatales y posparto. La expansión de Medicaid redujo la mortalidad materna y mejoró los pronósticos de salud de mamás y bebés. Recortar Medicaid destruirá este progreso. #WellnessWed

A5: Medicaid is a key source of funding for maternal health care, including pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum care. Expanded access to Medicaid has been shown to reduce maternal mortality and improve health outcomes for mothers and babies. Cuts to Medicaid would destroy that progress. #WellnessWed

R4: Los fondos de Medicaid mantienen los hospitales rurales abiertos dando acceso vitales servicios y creando buenos empleos en el sistema de salud. Recortar Medicaid desestabilizaría hospitales y sistemas de salud obligando a algunos a cerrar. #WellnessWed

A4: Medicaid funding keeps hospitals in rural communities open, which both provides access to lifesaving care and creates good-paying jobs within the healthcare system. Cuts to Medicaid would destabilize hospitals and health care systems, even forcing some to close. #WellnessWed

R3a: Medicaid cubre a casi 80M de personas en el país, incluyendo 54M de ancianos, niños y discapacitados. Medicaid es la fuente principal de fondos para salud y servicios para ancianos y discapacitados en las 574 naciones tribales del país. #WellnessWed

A3a: Medicaid funds health care for nearly 80mil people in this country, including 54mil older adults, children, and disabled people. Medicaid is the main funder for healthcare and aging and disability care for the 574 tribal nations in this country. #WellnessWed

Medicaid cubre un tercio del presupuesto de los estados y los recortes obligarán a los estados a cubrir el déficit. Ningún estado tiene ese dinero y tendrán que recortar otros servicios o programas para tratar de reponerlo. #WellnessWed

A2: Medicaid makes up ⅓ of state budgets, so a cut to federal investments to Medicaid would leave states to cover those costs. No state has that money, which means they would have to cut other services or programs to even start to make up the difference. #WellnessWed

El Proyecto de Ley de la Cámara de Representantes incluye POR LO MENOS $880B en recortes que reducirán enormemente los fondos federales que reciben los estados cada año y reducirán la cobertura para la salud, incluyendo la cobertura para cuidados a largo plazo. #WellnessWed

A1: The House bill includes AT LEAST $880 BILLION in cuts, which would mean a massive cut in the Federal funding that states bring in every year, causing cuts from health insurance coverage all the way to long-term care. #WellnessWed

We're here and ready to talk about all things #Medicaid! #WellnessWed

Join us today at 2pm ET to talk about the potential impact of Medicaid cuts on states on #WellnessWed! #MedicaidMatters

Congress is considering $880 billion in cuts to our care – just to fund tax breaks for the ultra-rich. Today, we’re flooding the phone lines of Congressmembers so they know we won’t accept any cuts to Medicaid. #ProtectMedicaid go.caringacross.org/a/call-congr...

Medicaid funding is on the chopping block in the House today. Tell your representative now to oppose cuts to this vital program: action.aclu.org/send-message...

Call your House members today, tomorrow and every day next week telling them to vote NO on the Budget Resolution. Then rest and repeat, we will have to keep going all year to #ProtectMedicaid It’s a #Medicaid Marathon, not a #Medicaid sprint!

Senator Welch is right! Rural communities would be severely impacted by the cuts being proposed to Medicaid. Thank you for speaking up for your constituency and family caregivers in rural communities everywhere! #ProtectMedicaid

Senator Maggie Hassan lays out the ill-advised and devastating cuts to Medicaid being contemplated right now in Congress. Thank you, Senator, for your insight and advocacy! #ProtectMedicaid

We agree with @baldwin.senate.gov — cutting Medicaid is an attack on American families. Thank you for speaking up for all of us! #ProtectMedicaid

Cuts to Medicaid would crush families. Thank you, @reed.senate.gov, for calling out the financial impact that cuts to these essential programs would have on the lives of family caregivers and all those who need and give care.

Thank you @baldwin.senate.gov for highlighting the millions of people in Wisconsin who would be impacted by #Medicaid cuts. It is the people behind the numbers – family caregivers, disabled people, and aging adults – who would be harmed. We join you in the fight to #ProtectMedicaid

if we send you this picture, know we're about to save medicaid

us hearing President Trump say he loves and cherishes Medicaid while his administration works to dismantle it #SaveMedicaid #GRAMMYs

Rather than fulfilling campaign promises to support families, the Trump administration is busy playing political games with public dollars and pushing our country to the brink.
