Faith Leaders For Healthcare
Join Faith Leaders Standing Up for Healthcare Funding
As people of faith, we believe care is a moral issue. Trump’s healthcare cuts created a funding crisis — now Albany must act to protect Medicaid and community hospitals. When people in our congregations can’t afford medicine, delay treatment, or choose between groceries and a doctor’s visit — that is not just a policy problem.
Across traditions, our faith compels us to plead for the cause of the poor and those who are in need. We are called to heal the sick, protect the vulnerable, and defend the dignity of human life. Today, healthcare funding is on the line — and faith leaders are uniquely positioned to speak with courage, compassion, and clarity.
Your voice matters. Your leadership matters.

Our Shared Commitment
President Trump’s recent healthcare cuts have created one of the largest funding gaps in modern history, stripping billions from Medicaid and threatening hospitals that serve the most vulnerable among us. In New York, safety net hospitals and community providers depend on this funding to keep emergency rooms open, deliver lifesaving treatment, and care for families who have nowhere else to turn.
As people of faith, we believe healthcare is not a privilege — it is a reflection of our shared moral responsibility to care for the sick, protect the vulnerable, and uphold human dignity. When hospitals are forced to cut services, when families delay treatment because they cannot afford care, and when communities lose access to trusted providers, it is not just a policy failure — it is a moral failure.
Now, as Albany finalizes the state budget, lawmakers have the power to act. They can fully restore funding for Medicaid and safety net hospitals and protect healthcare access for millions of New Yorkers. This is a moment for moral leadership — and our voices matter.
