Tell Congress: Fight for Medicaid!
Federal cuts to Medicaid would devastate New York and put thousands of healthcare jobs at risk. Over 7.5 million people across our state depend on Medicaid for affordable healthcare. Federal cuts would:
slash critical services – and the jobs providing them – that keep our communities safe, like mental health and emergency services.
exacerbate the understaffing crisis in hospitals across the state, especially for those serving our most vulnerable neighbors.
strip funding used for wage increases, overtime pay, and promotions for healthcare workers like us.
result in longer wait times, reduced access to care, and higher out-of-pocket costs for everyone, whether you rely on Medicaid or not.
