Massachusetts can prevent these devastating budget cuts by tapping the state’s $8 billion rainy day fund and by making billionaire global corporations like Apple, Amazon, McDonalds, & Walmart pay their fair share in state taxes.

Federal Medicaid cuts "are expected to hit hard, particularly in poorer and rural parts of the state."

But Massachusetts is not helpless — we can stop the cuts and protect healthcare for local families!

Rural health care clinics in Mass. brace for Medicaid cuts

Hundreds of thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents could lose Medicaid coverage over the next 10 years — a result of the massive tax and spending bill President Trump signed in July.

The impact of Trump's tax legislation on Massachusetts is clear: lower taxes for the ultrawealthy and multinational corporations, and devastating cuts to programs serving Massachusetts children, families and seniors.

Great news! A new spending bill signed into law today allocates $1.3 billion in surplus Fair Share funds to new investments in transportation and public education!

The surplus is possible thanks to Fair Share's strong performance, which generated $2.46 billion in its first year.
