Multiple Little Lobbyists families traveled to Washington, D.C., from across the country (Maggie and David traveled all the way from Alaska!) to deliver a simple message to their U.S. Senators:

CBO estimates that the House-passed reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid by $793 billion over a decade. Here's what that would mean state by state.
