Urge Your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators to Protect Medicare and Medicaid in Debt Ceiling Negotiations.

The debate over raising the debt ceiling will determine the financial security and the health of our families and communities. Send an email to your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators urging them to protect Medicare and Medicaid!

Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid would put health care coverage at risk for millions. 

It would mean many doctors would turn away patients, resulting in higher health care costs for all. It would mean reduced access to well-child care, breast cancer screenings and prenatal care. It would mean uncertain futures for patients living in nursing homes. And it would mean many seniors would not be able to afford their medications or the medical equipment that helps them continue living in their own homes.

We can’t let this happen.  Take action today!

Please join us in letting Congress know that it’s simply unacceptable to balance the budget on the backs of vulnerable Americans.
