“Make no mistake—there is no way to cut $880 billion from Medicaid without devastating consequences ... The idea that this funding gap can be closed through eliminating ‘fraud and waste’ is a dangerous myth” - Mara Youdelman, @nhelp.bsky.social Managing Director of Federal Advocacy

Don’t buy fairy tales of billions in wasted Medicaid dollars. That’s gaslighting and distraction. Medicaid is already lean. There is not much to cut before you hit bone: reduced services, fewer providers, and coverage losses across the board. Tell your House Members NO MEDICAID CUTS - (866) 426-2631

Medicaid work requirements don’t save money—they just strip coverage from eligible people. In Arkansas, 18,000+ lost Medicaid, many due to paperwork issues. "They’re designed to trip people up and then blame them for falling," says David Machledt. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
