The so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' would decimate gender affirming care and harm trans people. No cuts to Medicaid and the ACA! “Medicaid is the payer for low-income Americans, and it’s an essential safety net program,” Shanker said. “We know that trans people are disproportionately lower income and benefit from Medicaid in a higher percentage than the majority population. We know that’s even more pronounced among trans people of color and trans people who are from rural communities.” (fb)

The House just passed their cruel and catastrophic budget—but our voices are louder than their votes. What does Medicaid mean to me? For millions of Americans, it’s the lifeline that keeps them going. It’s access to cancer treatment, life-saving medication, support for kids with disabilities, care for aging parents. It’s dignity. It’s survival. These stories are powerful. And they matter. Because behind every policy decision are real people with real lives on the line. Watch. Listen. Feel it. Then speak up. Tell your story. Amplify theirs. Let’s flood the narrative with truth and humanity. Share your story here: https://tinyurl.com/Whatmedicaidmeanstome #ProtectMedicaid #MedicaidMatters #OurStoriesOurPower (fb)
