Mothers’ Day was just yesterday—yet today, Congress is moving forward with plans to gut Medicaid, the program that supports over 40% of births in the U.S. Lawmakers are debating a proposal that could strip health coverage from over 13 million people, including many new and expecting mothers. These cuts threaten access to vital prenatal and postpartum care, placing families at risk. Your representatives need to hear from you now—tell them to protect maternal health.
You can also contact your Governor to encourage them to speak to your state's congressional delegation to defend Medicaid from budget cuts. Your Governor needs to leverage their power when it comes to supporting your state's health. Find your Governor’s contact information here: https://www.nga.org/governors/
