What Matters? MEDICAID MATTERS!
Who Matters? I MATTER!
Who Matters? I MATTER!
As you may have heard, the Federal Government is planning to cut $880 Billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee's budget - which includes Medicaid.
- 1 in 4 Crawford County residents rely on Medicaid funded services.
- Supports such as transportation, employment, adult daycare, healthcare, and community based services (to name a few) allow people living with disabilities to be a part of their community.
- These proposed cuts will be detrimental to the lives and livelihoods of our most vulnerable neighbors.
Please join us us in the fight to keep these services available to all who need them.
What Can You Do?
Contact your Legislators and tell them how important Medicaid is!
Tell Your Story! If not your story, your neighbor's, your child's, your parents' -
