When millions get thrown off Medicaid, when costs go up for folks insured through the Marketplace, those impacts will raise costs and shutter hospitals for all – even if you have private insurance.
The GOP’s megabill is an uncontained disaster.

Almost a trillion $ cut toMedicaid is being debated! It does not strengthen the program! States will get far less $’s than anticipated, putting optional Home & Community Based Services in jeopardy.

Even if you're not on Medicaid, the loss of state funds will impact you! If you ever need home care or community supports, private insurance doesn't cover it, so you will need Medicaid there for yourself!

The federal government's own investigations find only 5% of Medicaid payments are "improper," a term including both fraud & errors, & est. outright fraud adds up to only about $6.5 billion a year. The remaining cutbacks would come from reducing enrollment, curbing services, or paying providers less.
