    Don't let Trump and the GOP defund Medicaid!

    Petition to the U.S. Senate:
    We urge you to oppose cuts to Medicaid.

    Trump and House Republicans have put gutting Medicaid at the center of their destructive agenda.1

    Now, Senate Republicans are “racing” ahead to pass Trump’s agenda.2 But taking healthcare away from 80 million Americans and destabilizing the entire healthcare system (including Medicare) is extremely unpopular — and we must let our Senators know.

    Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to protect Medicaid coverage for 80 million people!

    What’s happening right now in Congress, with Trump’s guidance from the White House, is decades in the making: GOP cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

    Unless Senators hear from their constituents (including many who will lose Medicaid because of these cuts), our leaders will destroy Medicaid and pass another round of trillions in tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

    Every government program that Americans need for health care, education, housing, income, and much more is on the table for Musk, Trump, and the GOP’s cuts. Trump is pushing to turn Medicaid into tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations, and he’ll succeed unless we speak directly to our lawmakers.

    Sign the petition: Urge Congress to protect Medicaid from irreversible cuts!
