Kimberly Gallagher has spent 31 years caring for her disabled son, Daniel, who has severe disabilities and cannot speak. She gave up legal guardianship, an unthinkable choice, just so Medicaid would allow her to be paid as his caregiver.

Now, Congress wants her to prove she is working just to keep her health care. But she already works every single day. She has Hashimoto’s disease, aging parents to care for, and Medicaid is her only safety net.

Losing it would destroy her life.

These new work requirements will push millions off Medicaid, not because they do not qualify, but because of red tape, broken systems, and missed paperwork.

Most Medicaid recipients already work, care for others, are disabled, or are in school. These rules are cruel, unnecessary, and dangerous.

We must protect people like Kimberly and the loved ones they care for.

Sign now to stop Medicaid work requirements and protect caregivers across the country.
