Cuts to SNAP and school meals don’t just hurt kids—they hurt our communities.

The Senate bill would cut federal #Medicaid spending by $1 trillion over 10 years, per CBO.

Provisions that only apply to ACA expansion states account for $526 billion of the federal spending reductions.

Great piece from @lbblackford about how terrifying the cuts to Medicaid are for the people who use it to see a doctor and take needed medicines.

There is a real, emotional, physical, human toll that these funding cuts will take.

In 2015, the year before Louisiana expanded Medicaid, the uninsured rate among working-age adults in East Carroll Parish was nearly 35%. By 2021, that number was 12.7%.

“Why are we going back?” provider Jennifer Newton asked. “We’ve made so much progress.”

Any congressional offices want to share the tally of constituent calls and emails that have received for and against #OBBBA?

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

There's a lot of focus on what Medicaid and ACA cuts would mean for hospitals, because hospitals have lobbyists. That doesn't negate what the cuts would mean for people, with about 12 million people projected to become uninsured due to the megabill.

[Keeping NC Medicaid Strong @NCMedStrong]

🔴 Today the Senate passed a bill that could strip coverage from 670,000 North Carolinians and end our state’s SNAP program.

Tell the House: Reject Medicaid & SNAP cuts.

Senate conservatives are dropping their push for a vote on scaling back a key Medicaid funding mechanism, three sources tell us. https://t.co/yuTaEF6VQh

[Jonathan Cohn @CitizenCohn]

Medicaid expansion has been a big help to clinics, allowing them to serve more people & offer more services

Made a difference in rural NC after the hurricane:

"Having that capacity let people get their lives together quicker, and get back to work too"

Joint Economic Committee Democrats, led by Sen. Hassan, estimate that the Scott amendment would affect "9 states that have automatic 'trigger laws' to immediately end the [Medicaid expansion] if the federal matching percentage is reduced"

Tillis:

“I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities. This will force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage”

KY and N.C. with the most to lose!

Proposed cuts to Medicaid would crush small and rural hospitals and make it harder for people to get the care they need.

North Carolina can’t afford this.
