Republicans in Congress are trying to slash Medicaid. We’re fighting back — and your story is the most powerful defense.

Your story can:
✔ Stop harmful cuts before they become law

✔ Protect care for millions of families like yours

“I would lose everything if my family did not have healthcare coverage. I want legislators to know that we need a movement that would cover everyone. We deserve that right. Medicaid is not a privilege, it’s a necessity our community needs.”

“My father was a custodian for 30 plus years in te public schools, was diabetic, and retired with no medical coverage. My mother was a housewife, she had breast cancer and other health issues. They both sacrificed and decided to pay for immediate needs instead of spending on medical care, and stopped their treatment due to lack of medical insurance. My parents deserved a better way of living. They would both still be here if they had healthcare coverage.”
