Medicaid Defense -- Call to Action

We can still make a difference.

The fight to defend Medicaid and SNAP has now moved to the US Senate, which has taken up the reconciliation bill after it passed the House at the end of May. Again, Republicans have set a sprinting timeline to push through their harmful agenda, cutting Medicaid and SNAP nutrition benefits to put more money in the pockets of corporations and billionaires. We have four weeks – until July 4th – to keep the pressure on moderate Republicans to protect healthcare coverage and access to food assistance for millions of people across the country.

📲 Your calls matter.

Health Care For All and SEIU are holding phone banks every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 5pm for the next 3 weeks. Participants are calling constituents in key states and asking them to tell their Senators to oppose any cuts to Medicaid. This week’s calls focus on Maine and ask Maine voters to call Senator Susan Collins to tell her to oppose cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
