Congress is considering cuts to Medicaid—cuts that would take care away from the people who need it most. If they go through, this won’t just strain our healthcare system—it’ll push it into crisis. When Medicaid gets cut, it’s not just a budget line—it’s a lifeline. And losing it has real consequences. A kid missing asthma treatment. A parent forced to pause cancer care. A senior losing their place in long-term care. These aren’t numbers. They’re people in your community—at school pickup, in the checkout line, sitting beside you at church. Medicaid helps people stay healthy, stable, and alive. Taking it away puts lives at risk. That’s why we’re urging Congress: don’t cut Medicaid. Because the real cost isn’t in dollars—it’s in lives. https://on.lung.org/4mdSvnC (fb)
