Medicaid needs your voice.

Millions of Americans rely on the program for healthcare coverage, and funding cuts and reforms will have lasting repercussions on nurses and patients alike. 

Protect Americans' access to healthcare, urge your representatives to protect Medicaid today! 

What is Medicaid? 

• Provides healthcare coverage for over 70 million low-income Americans

• Gives patients access to critical primary and specialty care

• Covers over 40% of births in the U.S. and 65% of nursing home residents 

How would Medicaid cuts impact nursing? 

• Medicaid accounts for 19% of hospital revenues. Tight facility budgets could mean stagnant pay, fewer benefits, facility closures, and layoffs 

• Rural hospitals and long-term care residents heavily rely on Medicaid 

• Fewer staff + same patient load = more burnout 

If Medicaid policy changes, nurses and patients will take the hit. Tell your Representatives to protect American’s access to healthcare today by defending Medicaid.
