CODE RED: Protect New Yorkers’ Medicaid!
Massive federal cuts to Medicaid could devastate New York.
Over 7.5 million people across our state depend on Medicaid for affordable healthcare.
Federal cuts could slash critical services that keep our communities safe, like mental health and emergency services, and put our most vulnerable neighbors at risk by denying them the care they need.
We need your voice to save Medicaid by getting the state budget to fill the funding gap!
ALBANY CAN STEP UP AND PROTECT NEW YORK
DC failed to protect New Yorkers from devastating federal healthcare cuts. But our state leaders have the power to act.
With decisive leadership, Albany can:
- Shield families from rising healthcare costs
- Protect hospitals and frontline providers from destabilizing funding gaps
- Strengthen the healthcare safety net that millions rely on
- Ensure people can get care when and where they need it
New York has the resources. This is a Code Red healthcare emergency.
