Tell Congress to fully fund Medicaid and Medicare for Michiganders.

Medicaid provides essential health services to more than 2.6 million Michiganders, including 1 million children. However, these essential benefits have come under attack. On February 25, the House passed a budget that would require $880 billion in cuts to essential health care programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. Members of the House also proposed changes that would cut funding for these programs by more than $670 billion over the next decade.

In 2023, almost 10 million people reported that they rationed or skipped doses of medicine to save money. Medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the USA, accounting for more than half of all bankruptcies. That’s why we need to increase funding for programs that help people pay for the health care they need, rather than cutting these programs. Please join us in urging Congress to ensure that no household in our community will be forced to forgo medicine or care.
