Nearly one in four Americans have health care through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — about 80 million people. Make no mistake, if this budget blueprint becomes law, countless Americans will die.
No cuts to Medicaid!
But that’s not all. Medicaid provides crucial health services and benefits to 10 million disabled people across America. The program is also the primary payer of home and community-based services (HCBS) for nearly 8 million seniors and people with disabilities. Two-thirds of people living in nursing facilities are enrolled in Medicaid.
These cuts will be BEYOND devastating to the American people, and we must not let them become law. The Senate still has to pass its own version of the blueprint, and we need to make our voices heard and let them know that we will NOT stand for this attack on our healthcare.
Demand the Senate reject the GOP’s MASSIVE cuts to Medicaid!
A Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds: The Devastating Consequences of Program Terminations
The House GOP’s draconian budget cuts don’t just threaten Medicaid and SNAP—they are actively dismantling lifesaving programs around the world. Among the most horrifying terminations are:
- All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – TERMINATED.
- All tuberculosis programs, including the Global TB Drug Facility – TERMINATED.
- All supplies of US-manufactured emergency food packets for starving children on the brink of death – TERMINATED.
- USAID’s contract supporting deadly outbreak prevention, detection, and response, including Ebola and Bird Flu, in 50 countries – TERMINATED.
- All deployable U.S. teams for earthquake assistance – TERMINATED.
- All U.S.-backed development programming in Afghanistan, including maternal and child health services and girls’ education – TERMINATED. (Estimated to cause >1,200 maternal deaths by 2028.)
- Over 1,000 food kitchens in Sudan, a country with almost 25 million people experiencing acute food insecurity – TERMINATED.
- USAID’s contract for supplying essential medicines for maternal and child health in countries worldwide – TERMINATED.
- Services from the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which supports 350,000 people on HIV treatment, including nearly 10,000 children and more than 10,000 HIV-positive pregnant women – TERMINATED.
- Every USAID program in the former Soviet countries in Central Asia, including health programs to combat rampant tuberculosis, along with agricultural programs – TERMINATED.
- A screening program with the Mexican government to identify illicit drugs like fentanyl being smuggled at the US border – TERMINATED.
- A project in the Democratic Republic of Congo that operates the only source of water for 250,000 displaced people in conflict-ridden camps – TERMINATED.
These catastrophic cuts will not only cost lives but will also weaken America’s global standing, empower our adversaries, and increase instability worldwide. All of this, just to give billionaires like Elon Musk another giant tax cut.
NO ONE voted for this, and it helps NO ONE.
We must fight back. Share this message and demand that the Senate rejects these deadly c
