Tell Congress: Don't Touch Medicare and Medicaid

The Issue

Last month, thanks to the efforts of thousands of dedicated health care activists, the Senate rejected the House Republican budget which would have slashed $1.43 trillion from Medicare and Medicaid while extending tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires!

But now Republican leaders are holding a critical budget vote hostage unless they can secure extreme cuts to Medicaid. 

If they fail to act on this budget vote, it could cripple our struggling economy.

Tell John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and the Republican leadership that it’s time to get their priorities in order. Cutting funding for senior’s health care and putting our economy at risk isn't the way to help American families.
