The latest on Medicaid: don't panic, take action! 🛑 Help Protect Medicaid – Speak Up Today! Medicaid helps millions of people with disabilities just like you get the care they need to live healthy, independent lives. But right now, Medicaid is in danger of being "cut." Cut means having the amount of money the government can spend on medical care under Medicaid lowered. We sometimes call this "spending cuts" or "cuts." Spending Cuts to Medicaid would:
-
Take away healthcare from over 13 million people.
-
Make it harder to get care by adding confusing rules (confusing rules are sometimes called "red tape").
-
Keep states from stopping computers (sometimes called AI) from making unfair decisions about your care.
-
Make it harder to improve nursing homes and other care facilities. If we can't improve care, we can't improve safety.
These changes will hurt:
