Protect Medicaid and Medicare Now
Congress is currently considering a federal budget reconciliation package that would cut up to $880 billion from Medicaid over the next decade, along with reductions to Medicare. These programs serve over 90 million Americans — including low-income families, seniors, people with disabilities, and children — providing essential health coverage that many cannot obtain elsewhere.
Proposed cuts would reduce federal matching funds to states, impose new work reporting requirements, and limit eligibility — changes that health advocates warn would result in millions of Americans losing coverage. Hospitals, particularly in rural areas, could face closures due to reduced reimbursements, further straining access to care.
Constituents are urging their U.S. Senators to oppose any budget legislation that cuts Medicaid or Medicare benefits, eligibility, or funding. Senators should go on record rejecting harmful reductions to these critical safety-net programs and work to ensure that any budget agreement protects — not dismantles — healthcare access for vulnerable Americans.

Hello, I am an assistant calling on behalf of a constituent, {{first_name}} {{last_name}} from {{city}}, {{state}} zip code {{zip_code}}. The constituent is calling to urge {{representative_name}} to oppose any cuts to Medicaid and Medicare included in the current federal budget reconciliation package. Congress is considering up to $880 billion in Medicaid cuts, along with reductions to Medicare. These programs provide healthcare to tens of millions of Americans, including seniors, children, low-income workers, and people with disabilities. Cuts of this magnitude would strip coverage from millions, force hospitals to close, and undermine a safety net that communities across the country depend on. The constituent asks that {{representative_name}} publicly oppose any budget legislation that reduces Medicaid or Medicare funding, benefits, or eligibility — and work to ensure these programs are protected in any final budget agreement. Can you confirm the Senator's current position on cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and whether they will vote against legislation that reduces these programs?
