Send a message to Congress: No Medicaid Cuts for Billionaire Tax Breaks

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to gut Medicaid—terminating health insurance for millions of Americans to fund $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. We need to fight back NOW.

Medicaid is a lifeline, providing access to health care for 3.4 million Illinoisans. Proposed cuts put care at risk for every single person enrolled in Medicaid, including 2 in 3 seniors in nursing homes, 1 in 3 people with disabilities, and half of our state’s children.

Cutting funding and placing restrictions on Medicaid won't just make us sicker, it'll increase the cost of health care — adding to the growing medical debt crisis in our country that already impacts 4 in 10 adults.

Call 866-426-2631 now to be connected to your representative in Congress.

📞 Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I live in [Town/City]. I’m calling because I’m a constituent and I’m deeply concerned about potential cuts to Medicaid and other essential programs. These cuts would hurt families while benefiting the wealthy with big tax breaks. Please vote NO on Medicaid cuts to protect your constituents.

Tell Your Members of Congress: No Medicaid Cuts for Billionaire Tax Breaks

Medicaid is a lifeline for coverage and a foundational source of economic and health security for 80 million Americans, including 3.4 million in Illinois, and a key funding pillar for the doctors and hospitals on which we all rely. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to gut Medicaid—terminating health insurance for millions of Americans to fund $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.

Members of the US House and US Senate

Subject: Protect Medicaid

Message:

As one of your constituents, I urge you to protect and preserve Medicaid, a foundational source of health and economic security for 80 million Americans, including 3.4 millions Illinoisans. Any proposals to cap funding, reduce the federal share of Medicaid spending, establish block grants, institute work reporting and community engagement requirements, cut state revenue from provider taxes or otherwise undermine the fundamental structure of the Medicaid program will all have disastrous consequences. Families will lose access to lifesaving services, states will be strapped with massive budget holes, hospitals and clinics will lose revenue, forcing them to scale back services, and American families and workers will be unable to afford essential care to help them stay healthy. Last November, voters like me went to the polls to hold policymakers accountable for delivering better affordability for everyday needs like buying groceries, paying rent, or getting health care. Proposals to cut Medicaid would do the exact opposite: shifting costs onto working class families, our state, our doctors, and our hospitals. This is unacceptable. I urge you to reject any cuts to Medicaid and instead take action to lower costs and protect access to health care for people and families like mine.
