CONTACT YOUR REPS TODAY! Our advocacy priority continues to be protecting Medicaid from harmful proposed cuts by Congress. Simply put: $715 BILLION in cuts over a 10-year period will lead to 14 million Americans losing coverage and harmful reductions in disability services. In New York, Governor Hochul said the state would face a $13.5 billion loss in federal funding, and close to 1.5 million people could lose essential plan or Medicaid coverage. (fb)
