Tell Albany:
Protect NY Healthcare!
Federal healthcare cuts created a funding crisis. Now Albany must act to protect the Medicaid funding that our patients, families, communities, and jobs depend on.
Legislators are finalizing the state budget NOW.
As healthcare workers, we see the impact of funding cuts firsthand. When our institutions lose resources, patients wait longer, services shrink, and frontline staff are stretched thin.
Federal healthcare cuts left New York with major funding gaps. Without action from Albany, healthcare services that depend on Medicaid will be put at grave risk.

Communities could lose $14.4 billion in economic activity tied to hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies, clinics, and other healthcare providers — meaning fewer patients, fewer shifts, and less investment in your workplaces.
Broader economic harm
Up to 34,000 healthcare jobs could be lost, putting tens of thousands of nurses, techs, aides, homecare workers, clinical staff, nursing home workers, and caregivers of all job titles at risk.
Impact on patient care

No hospital closures. No nursing home, homecare and clinic workers at risk. No Medicaid cuts. It’s that simple. Lawmakers are finalizing the state budget right now — tell them to fully fund healthcare.
Healthcare providers across New York are projected to lose $8 billion in annual federal funding, which could force service cuts or even closures — threatening jobs for thousands of healthcare workers like you.
Massive healthcare funding losses
An estimated 1.5 million New Yorkers could lose coverage, meaning more uncompensated care for institutions where union members work.
