I'm writing on behalf of those who, like myself, have chronic diseases and disabilities. The struggle is constant, and the reassurance of government programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security is invaluable. They serve as a lifeline, enabling us to procure the necessary treatments and services that we would not otherwise afford. Our survival and well-being depend on these programs, and recent governmental actions and discussions threatening their existence is alarming.

According to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, approximately 40 percent of adults relying on Medicaid live with a disability. Furthermore, the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities highlights that one-third of people receiving Medicare benefits have a physical impairment, mental health condition, or a long-term illness. These statistics underline the vital role these programs play for the chronically ill and those with disabilities.

We urge the government not to toy with the well-being of millions of people dependent on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Preserve these programs, and ensure they remain available for those of us who depend on them without the fear of sudden adjustments or elimination. It's not just about policy; it's about our lives. Please sign this petition and help us tell the government how critical it is to leave Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security untouched.
