The Arc Action Alert - Don't Cut Medicaid

Call Congress and urge them to reject Medicaid cuts! Take Action!

Call now!

Urge your U.S. Representative and two Senators to reject Medicaid

cuts, in any form.

Why is This Important?

Congress is debating how to balance the budget -- and they need to

hear from you. Don't let Congress get away with cutting programs for people with

intellectual and developmental disabilities. Reducing the deficit is important,

but the approach must be fair and balanced. We should not balance the budget on

the backs of our most poor and vulnerable families -- those who can least afford

to bear it.

What Can You Do?

Negotiations are happening behind closed doors. Now is the time to

weigh in with your Members of Congress. Tell them " DON'T CUT MEDICAID. " Cuts to

this vital program will only shift costs to states and transfer the burden to

people with disabilities and seniors who depend on the program for long-term

services and supports.

Call your U.S. Senators and Representative Toll Free today at

1-866-922-4970.

What Should You Say?

. Please reject Medicaid cuts in any form.

. Please oppose any proposals that include or will lead to deep

spending cuts or restructuring Medicaid.
