ZoomWelcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Defend Medicaid Call Party. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting. We have two weeks to convince the Senate to protect Medicaid and reject a House budget bill that could cut up to $880 billion in Medicaid funding over the next ten years. It is urgent that we take action together to lobby our senators to oppose these massive cuts to Medicaid. Medicaid affects 72 million Americans – 40 percent of children in the U.S. and 60 percent of adults in nursing homes,, including many in our ME community. It is a lifeline for individuals to receive the care they need for mobility aids, medication and hospital visits. Many people do not realize they are covered by Medicaid as it goes by other names, such as Medi-Cal in California, Health First Colorado or Health Care in Arkansas. Without it, millions of Americans will be left vulnerable to inadequate or no health care services, and we fear people will die without it. We are asking you to help us protect it. Join #MEAction on March 12th to make calls to our Senators together as a community, and fight back to protect Medicaid. We will have call scripts and easy-to-access numbers for contacting your Senator. It won’t be scary! We encourage everyone to join. It will be an opportunity to meet others in the community, practice a call script, mute yourself to make a call, and talk about how it went. If you cannot join, please don’t worry. There are many ways to be a part of this community effort. You can look at this guide for ways to take action from home. Also, you are enough just as you are and you never have to take a single action to be a valued member of our community.
