As we watch a flurry of actions emerge from our nation’s Capital, it is important that Medicaid is treated with the seriousness it deserves. We can help federal leaders understand how vital Medicaid is to people, the economy, and our overall health care system.   

What can you do?

  • Help share these facts with your colleagues and community. You can download the PDF from the e-mail to share with your own community. 
  • Write a social media post or a letter to your local paper to share how Medicaid matters to everyone, including you.
