Short Message – Focus: Impact on Disability Community

Subject Line (for emails): Please Oppose Medicaid Cuts

 

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Last Name],

 

I urge you to oppose any federal budget proposals that include significant cuts to Medicaid, such as the proposed $880 billion reduction. These cuts would severely impact individuals with disabilities, including those on SSI or SSDI, who rely on Medicaid for essential services like in-home care, medical equipment, and community-based support.

 

Reducing Medicaid funding would lead to service caps, enrollment freezes, and long waitlists, forcing many into institutions and placing undue strain on families. Work requirements and increased cost-sharing would further jeopardize access to care for vulnerable populations.

 

Please stand against these harmful cuts and protect the integrity of Medicaid for those who depend on it.

 

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[City, State]
