Right now, Medicaid—the program that provides healthcare to 72 million Americans—is at risk of losing $880 billion in funding. If this happens:
- 21% of Americans will lose healthcare coverage.
- Rural communities and red states will be hit the hardest.
- The proposed cuts are tied to extending the $4.7 trillion tax break from 2017, set to expire in 2025.
- This is not a Republican or Democratic issue—it affects all Americans.
This is urgent because the vote happens tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, 2025. Your voice can help stop it.
- Healthcare is a fundamental right. Millions will lose coverage, including low-income families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities.
- Politicians listen when voters speak. In 2017, Senator John McCain voted NO to repealing the Affordable Care Act because Americans raised their voices.
- Elections are coming. 11 congressional seats are at risk in the 2025 midterms. Politicians know their jobs depend on public support.

Tell them:
"Vote NO on Medicaid cuts. 72 million Americans depend on it." "If you vote to cut healthcare, we will not re-elect you." "This is not about politics. This is about saving lives."

Instead of cutting healthcare for millions, lawmakers should:
- Find alternative budget solutions that don’t harm vulnerable communities.
- Reassess tax breaks for billionaires instead of slashing essential programs.
- Invest in Medicaid expansion to improve public health outcomes.
As someone working in healthcare daily, I know firsthand how crucial Medicaid is. It saves lives. It keeps families from financial ruin. It ensures children, seniors, and low-income Americans get the care they deserve.
We must raise our voices NOW—because once these cuts happen, they will be difficult to reverse. Call your representatives today and demand they protect Medicaid.
Let’s stand together. Let’s fight for healthcare. Let’s make sure our voices are heard.
