The Congressional Budget Office finds that the reconciliation bill would take from the bottom 10% of the income distribution to give to the top 10% by stripping health care coverage and food assistance away. It's morally reprehensible. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

Republican lawmakers are considering $880B in cuts to Medicaid. This would result in 56% of older adults losing coverage. That's 4.7 million seniors! Call your lawmakers and demand they not cut Medicaid. (202) 224-3121 #HandsOffMedicaid

Medicaid is so important for older adults. It covers what Medicare doesn't: at-home care; long-term care in nursing facilities; dental, vision, hearing, transportation. And importantly, Medicaid pays for Medicare premiums & cost sharing. If you cut Medicaid, you're hurting seniors! #HandsOffMedicaid
