Take Action: Tell your senators to reject harmful cuts to health care!
The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote on a devastating budget bill that would slash funding for Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and SNAP (food assistance)—all to fund tax breaks that disproportionately benefit high-income earners while ballooning the national debt.
The Senate already passed this harmful legislation. Now the House is racing toward final passage. There’s still time to stop it, but we need your voice today.
What’s at Stake
This bill would cause historic harm to older adults, people with disabilities, families, and communities nationwide. Read our rundown of the devastating consequences of this reckless legislation.
The Human Cost is Too High
If this bill becomes law, 17 million people would lose Medicaid, ACA, or Medicare-related coverage, face higher health care costs, and struggle with hunger and poverty.
Experts estimate the bill’s policies could lead to over 51,000 additional deaths each year from coverage losses, care disruptions, and reduced nursing home safety.
The Public Doesn’t Support This Bill
Poll after poll shows that Americans—across party lines—oppose cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, and SNAP. But Congress isn’t listening.
We must act now. Urge your representative to reject these harmful cuts.
More Ways to Make an Impact
With key decisions happening now, lawmakers need to hear from you. Medicaid must be safeguarded—not gutted.

Use this call-in line provided by SEIU and convey these talking points:
- Tell your representative: no cuts to Medicaid. Whether it’s work requirements, eligibility changes, or reduced funding—a cut is a cut and will have devastating consequences.
- Medicaid and Medicare work together. A cut to Medicaid is a cut to Medicare. These programs are interconnected, ensuring older adults and people with disabilities receive the care and support they need.
- Cuts have real consequences. Any reduction in Medicaid funding means fewer services, higher costs, and loss of access to essential health and long-term care for older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers.
- Millions rely on Medicaid. Over 7 million older adults and 12 million people with Medicare depend on Medicaid. Slashing the program would cause serious and lasting harm.
- Make it personal. Lawmakers need to hear how Medicaid impacts their constituents. Use this map to find out how many people in your district rely on Medicaid and share that number with your representatives.
