$800 Billion in Cuts. Millions Erased.
Tell Congress: No Cuts to Medicaid for Our Nation’s Seniors.
Congress is moving forward with a plan to slash Medicaid funding, putting millions of older adults and their families at risk of losing the care they rely on. These cuts don’t just trim a budget—they erase lives from the care systems that sustain them. Older adults rely on Medicaid for things like nursing home care, home-delivered meals, and daily support. Erasing these services breaks a national promise and leaves families to face it alone. These aren’t just line items in a spreadsheet. They’re real people.
In states across the country, the consequences would be immediate and devastating. Medicaid covers 63% of Ohio nursing home residents, 65% in Maine and Missouri, and an alarming 77% in West Virginia.(1) These aren’t outliers, they’re warnings. Slashing Medicaid funding means closing doors on the community resources that keep our most vulnerable citizens safe. When you cut this deeply, you’re not just balancing budgets-you’re tipping families into crisis.

Cuts to Medicaid = Cuts to Care. NOW is the time to speak out.
“If you’re trying to cut Medicaid, a lot of these residents that we get in these nursing homes — a little more than half the nursing home will be empty. And if we don’t have patients, we don’t have hours to give to employees.”
