Capping Medicaid funding could severely impact children with special health needs. It would limit their access to essential services like therapies, medications, and specialized treatments—many of which are not covered by private insurance. bit.ly/3FFVpkm

Congressional Republicans are jamming through legislation to gut Medicaid, and millions of Michiganders could pay the price.
They're not going after fraud.
They're not going after waste.
They're going after your health care.

Forcing chronically ill Americans to work to save their healthcare will harm millions with #MECFS and #LongCOVID, especially those who are newly sick and whose only hope for recovery is rest!

We’re joining partners for a 24-hour vigil to protect Medicaid. We’re sharing real stories on the steps of the Capitol to send a powerful message to Congress: people are watching, and people need this care. Watch live: youtube.com/live/tBo00pL1wbE

On the left it says, "begins may 7 @ 1pm" and on the right, "ends may 8 @ 1pm." The bottom corner features the Medicaid Vigils logo with a candle icon.

Health care is one of Michigan’s largest industries—and Medicaid is a major part of it. Federal cuts to Medicaid threaten nearly 30,000 Michigan jobs, funding for hospitals, and the state economy.
ALT Michigan's economy depends on Medicaid. Medicaid provides $6.9 billion in hospital funding each year. Health care contributes $77 billion annually to Michigan's economy. Nearly 30,000 jobs could be at risk if proposed Medicaid cuts are passed.

✅ Michiganders deserve access to affordable care
🙅♂️ Republicans in Congress want to take it away
Cuts to Medicaid are cuts to hospitals and services for seniors. They're cuts to life saving care and will result in termination of healthcare coverage for those who need it most.

Medicaid cuts don't just hurt individuals — they threaten entire communities.
Rural hospitals rely heavily on Medicaid funding to keep their doors open. Without it, people could lose access to ANY local healthcare.
Protect Medicaid. Protect rural health. #HandsofMedicaid

Washington is considering slashing funding for programs that protect people with disabilities and older adults. These cuts will lead to more abuse, neglect, and isolation. We must act now. #DisabilityRights #AgingWithDignity #ActNow

The U.S. Department of Justice is rescinding numerous guidance documents clarifying requirements under the Americans with #Disabilities Act, including some dating back to 1999. #disabilities disabilityscoop.com/2025/03/…

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM)! It's a time to celebrate inclusion, recognize the contributions of people with disabilities, and reflect on the barriers that still exist. Let’s work together for a more accessible, equitable world.

Work requirements are rules that would make some people prove they are working or doing certain job-related activities in order to keep their Medicaid coverage. Tell your members of Congress to say no Medicaid to restrictions! bit.ly/4gTilcp #ProtectMedicaid

Senate Democrats spoke on the floor on the importance of Medicaid and 8 House Republicans sent a letter to @SpeakerJohnson urging him not to cut #Medicaid in the budget resolution. Both parties have constituents who rely on Medicaid so they should be with us to #ProtectMedicaid
Our care shouldn’t be a partisan issue. We made the latest #MedicaidMinute to remind Republicans of that fact – as they contemplate $880 billion in potential cuts.
Protecting and expanding Medicaid has benefits for all of us – we won’t accept cuts. #SaveMedicaid
