April 29, 2025

Dear Members of Congress:

On behalf of 183 state and national advocates concerned about the medical debt crisis in our country, we write to express our strong opposition to Medicaid cuts. Medicaid plays a vital role in preventing medical debt by offering affordable health coverage to almost 80 million individuals and decreasing their likelihood of experiencing financial strain. We urge you to do everything in your power to protect this critical program.
