3/3 Punishing those with serious illnesses like cancer by cutting their health care will only lead to worse health outcomes and increased costs. @acscan.bsky.social urges the Senate to reject these harmful cuts and stand up for those who depend on #Medicaid to survive.

2/3 The bill accelerates implementation of work requirements to Dec. 2026, putting vulnerable people at risk of losing coverage in critical moments of their treatment plans. The majority of recipients who can work already do & work requirements have repeatedly failed in states. This is unacceptable.

1/3 The House passed a bill cutting Medicaid funding by an est. $715 billion. If approved by the Senate, these cuts will raise health care costs, negatively impact state budgets & deny affordable, quality health care to at least 8.6 million people according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Early this morning, the House passed a bill that drastically cuts #Medicaid and will lead to at least 8.6 million people losing their health insurance. Health care costs will go up for many who remain insured.
But the fight isn't over yet. Urge your Senators now to reject cuts and #ProtectMedicaid:
