Why This Matters
Your family's health insurance is under attack
Nearly 12 million Americans will lose health coverage by 2034, including working families who can't meet new bureaucratic requirements designed to exclude them from care
Rural hospital collapse accelerates despite emergency funding
Even with $50 billion in emergency funding, rural hospitals will still face financial crisis as Medicaid cuts eliminate their primary revenue source, leaving entire communities without emergency care
Nursing home crisis hits seniors and families
Medicaid pays for 60% of nursing home residents—cuts will force families to choose between bankruptcy and caring for elderly relatives at home without proper medical support
State budget disasters are coming to your community
States will lose billions in federal matching funds, forcing them to raise taxes, cut other programs, or kick more people off Medicaid—creating a cascade of budget crises
Healthcare job losses devastate local economies
Hospital closures and clinic shutdowns will eliminate jobs while uninsured patients skip preventive care and show up in emergency rooms when it's too late and too expensive
Children bear the hidden cost of parent requirements
Medicaid covers 40% of all births and children's healthcare—work requirements on parents will lead to coverage losses for kids who can't work but depend on their parents' eligibility
