Healthcare Access & Medicaid

Medicaid is a critical lifeline for millions of Americans, including working-class families, disabled individuals, and seniors. Yet extremist budget proposals continue to target this essential program, including efforts to implement work requirements that would push people off coverage. These letters focus on protecting healthcare access, uplifting the voices of both workers and patients, and rejecting policies designed to cut people out of care.
