Defend Medicaid, Defend Local Hospitals

Our neighborhoods and local communities are already facing an uphill battle when it comes to healthcare access. Why is Congress trying to make it worse?

Medicaid is a lifeline for community hospitals. Without it, many would be forced to shut down—leaving our families and loved ones without ERs, maternity wards, mental health services, and life saving care. Those closures won’t just affect patients, they’d eliminate good-paying jobs that our communities rely on.

By The Numbers:

• 7.5 million New Yorkers depend on Medicaid for affordable healthcare
• 1/3 of working-age New Yorkers in rural communities and small towns are covered by Medicaid
• 75% of conservative voters support Medicaid
• 90% of all Americans want to see Medicaid funding maintained or increased
