Federal cuts to Medicaid would devastate our community. Nearly HALF of Rockland County residents depend on Medicaid for affordable healthcare—including mothers, children, and seniors.
Medicaid cuts would cause real harm to real people. Our neighbors, family, and friends who rely on Medicaid for healthcare could instead incur medical debt and declare bankruptcy. Some will have to make difficult decisions between paying for healthcare and other household necessities, like food, rent, or school.
Tell Congress to stop its attack on Medicaid now!
