Medicaid is more than just a program—it’s a cornerstone of public health. As physicians and health care providers, we have a duty to stand up for our patients and ensure they have access to the care they need.
URGENT: Take Action to Protect Our Patients and Public Health!
Physicians are uniting to defend Medicaid and protect the millions of patients who rely on this vital program.
WHY: Medicaid is a lifeline for vulnerable populations, including low-income families, children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
Yet, Republican lawmakers, in their efforts to align with Trump’s agenda and fund tax cuts for the wealthy, are pushing harmful policies that threaten Medicaid.
From imposing work requirements and slashing funding to converting Medicaid into block grants, these attacks would devastate access to care for millions of Americans. As these threats emerge, it is critical that we stand together to safeguard this essential program and ensure it continues to serve those in need.
Now is the time to join forces and amplify our voices to demand decision-makers protect Medicaid and the patients who depend on it.
Together, we can advocate for policies that strengthen Medicaid, expand access to care, and uphold the principles of equity and compassion in health care.
