🎂 Medicaid turns 60 today. But instead of celebrating, we’re sounding the alarm.

Republicans just passed the biggest Medicaid cuts in history — and 15 million people are about to lose care. Here are 5 ways this will affect ALL of us — even if you have private insurance.

Medicaid turns 60 this month—but instead of celebrating, it’s turned into a fight for survival. The Big Bad Bill strips care from millions, threatens rural hospitals, and cuts vital services. Join our CALL-A-THON and tell Congress: we won’t “get over it.

ICYMI: When anyone seeks care at a hospital, they deserve treatment, not surveillance. Health care is a human right, not a trap.

If we allow government agencies to weaponize health data for immigration enforcement today, what’s next? This sets a dangerous precedent that puts all of us at risk.

Medical debt is one of the biggest drivers of bankruptcy in the US. We applaud @warren.senate.gov, @warnock.senate.gov and other leaders for demanding answers on why the Trump admin just moved to kill a rule that would’ve protected millions from having medical debt show up on their credit report.

Wall Street Sued an Insurance Giant to Deny More Health Care and Boost Their Bottom Line; Voters Want a System That Puts People Over Profit - Community Catalyst When Wall Street speaks this plainly, we should all pay attention.  In a new lawsuit filed last month, UnitedHealth Group investors revealed what too

Wall Street investors are suing to make sure UnitedHealth denies more health care — because it boosts stock profits.

A vast majority of voters think dental coverage should be required and want medical debt off credit scores.

Voters want change and action. Read more commcat.io/4kMVaCB

#CareNotCuts

These policies were designed to ensure infants & young children get consistent care during the most critical years of brain & physical development.

Cutting them off risks worse health outcomes—& it drives up costs for everyone.

TLDR: It’s bad policy, bad economics, & it puts families’ needs last.

Let’s be clear: No last-minute slush fund can undo the harm caused by slashing $1 trillion from Medicaid,
raising insurance costs, & putting 17M people at risk of losing coverage.

Rural areas with the most need will see:
🏥 hospital closures
👩‍⚕️ staff layoffs
👥 erosion of disability services
& more

This policy will discourage lawfully present immigrants who are eligible for Medicaid from signing up, or signing their kids up, leaving them without health insurance. That, of course, is a feature, not a bug.

Jason was a healthy and busy freelancer—until he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. ACA tax credits helped save his life.

Now those credits are on the chopping block. Millions will lose coverage unless Congress acts.

A Mom Went Viral For Breaking Down The Cost Of Giving Birth In America, And It's Wild "We should NOT have to pay that much. America is wild."

$44,318.41 — that’s what Kayla was charged to give birth. Even with insurance, she owes $12,000 out of pocket.

But while families stretch every dollar, Congress just passed the Big Bad Bill — cutting care, raising costs, and shutting down rural hospitals.

We won’t stay quiet while people lose care, coverage, and their lives.

On a day we celebrate freedom, 17 million people are losing theirs.

The Big, Bad Bill takes away not just health care — but the ability to choose your care, your provider, your future.

Freedom without access to care isn’t freedom at all.

🚨BREAKING: It’s official. Congress just passed the largest health care cuts in U.S. history. 17 million people will lose care while the ultra-wealthy get $65k in tax handouts. Read more >> commcat.io/46oRSlo

About 17 million people are expected to lose health coverage due to the Big Beautiful Bill and other policy changes, the largest ever rollback in health coverage due to federal policy changes that will reverse many of the coverage gains achieved by the ACA. @kff.org

Over 50,000 Americans could die every year because of Trump's big ugly budget bill.

All to give tax breaks to billionaires.

🚨The Senate just voted to take health care from more than 16 million people so corporations & billionaires can get tax breaks.

This isn’t reform—it’s a brutal attack on the care millions of working people rely on just to survive. Here are 5 ways this bill threatens our care >> commcat.io/3SWvvMo

Make no mistake: When anti-abortion rights lawmakers target Planned Parenthood, they are trying to pass a backdoor abortion ban. But both Planned Parenthood and abortion rights are more popular than any political party or elected official.

Trans kids are kids — they deserve to grow up without constant political attacks on their lives and medical care.

Sen.Jeff Merkley continues to ring the alarm: The billionaire bailout bill will make health care more expensive for working families.

Republicans are still pushing forward with it.

There’s nothing beautiful about a bill that trades lives for tax breaks.

The reconciliation bill is not “reform”. It’s a redistribution of wealth — from working families to billionaires — paid for by gutting Medicaid.

But RFK Jr. & the Trump administration replaced CDC vaccine experts with political appointees. The same could happen to the task force protecting preventive screenings. Read more >> commcat.io/4lsWbAs

You might not be on Medicaid or food assistance - but that doesn’t mean the GOP’s tax bill won’t hurt you.

Hundreds of hospitals would be forced to close if the bill passes. Families, kids, and seniors will all lose access to the care they need. All to pay for billionaire tax breaks.
