We need your help to protect Medicaid!

CALLS TO ACTION!

1. Contact your representative and tell them to keep Medicaid OUT of debt ceiling negotiations.

2. Join the Rally to Protect Medicaid, hosted by National Council on Independent Living and the Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living: bit.ly/41TGxUw

More info below ⬇️Rally to Protect Medicaid: Tell Congress Medicaid Cuts and Work Requirements are OFF THE TABLE!

NCIL and other organizations have been meeting with Congressional offices telling them to back off Medicaid, but we need your help!

The U.S. House of Representatives’ bill passed on April 26 includes radical work requirements for Medicaid enrollees ages 19 to 55 in exchange for lifting the debt ceiling.

We need to tell Congress to keep Medicaid OUT of debt ceiling negotiations.

People with disabilities rely on Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) to live independently in their communities and NOT IN NURSING HOMES!

Cuts to Medicaid and the proposed work requirements would cause more red tape and would make it even harder for people with disabilities, their families, and the workers who support them to access the care they need to survive.
