No one on #Medicaid is safe from harmful cuts proposed by Congressional Republicans, but they seem most focused on taking coverage away from low-income adults who gained access to Medicaid under the ACA—a remarkable success that cut Iowa's uninsured rate in half.

191,000 people in Iowa's 4th District depend on Medicaid and SNAP to get the health care they need and put food on the table. Call Rep. Feenstra at (202) 225-4426 and tell him to prioritize Iowans' well-being over tax cuts for the rich.

That's it. That's the message.

The numbers really do tell the story. Folks in the #IAlegis are rushing through bills that would cut people off Medicaid if they can't meet rigid requirements to report work hours, caregiving responsibilities and their health status. Iowa groups overwhelmingly oppose these plans.

We've been all over #IA this week with our friends from organized labor and @progressiowa.bsky.social talking about the stakes of the DC budget debate. Republican proposals would continue big tax cuts skewed to the wealthy and gut Medicaid and SNAP to pay for them. Let's keep up pushing back.

🚨 House Rs intend to vote early this week on their budget plan to take health coverage and food assistance away from millions to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The plan would require massive cuts to #Medicaid and #SNAP. Visit bit.ly/ProtectMedic... to tell your MoC to vote no.
