Medicaid Is Under Attack—Take Action Now!

We have reached a pivotal moment in the fight to protect Medicaid.

The House has already passed a devastating budget bill—and now the Senate is racing to push it through. This legislation includes drastic cuts, punitive work requirements, and dangerous restrictions that would gut Medicaid and strip health care from millions of children, older adults, people with disabilities, and working families.

We are running out of time. If we don’t act now, millions of people will be at risk.

Stand with NHeLP today. Your support and action today help us fight back against these cruel policies and defend the right to health care for those who need it most.

The National Health Law Program (NHeLP) is leading the charge to protect Medicaid and defend health care for those most at risk. We are taking the attacks head-on by:

 

  • Pushing back against harmful federal rollbacks in Congress;

  • Equipping state advocates with legal strategies and policy tools;

  • Strategizing with coalitions to defend health care access nationwide.

This goes beyond policy — it is about real lives.  Millions of low-income families, children, people with disabilities, and older adults are at risk of losing the care they depend on.

We need your support to keep up the fight. Your donation directly fuels our legal action, advocacy, and rapid response efforts. Help us defend Medicaid — and the people who rely on it.

Medicaid provides health insurance to 37 million children, nearly half of all children in the U.S.

64% of adults under 65 and insured through Medicaid work full or part time. 

Medicaid is the primary payer of long-term services and supports in the U.S., covering 61% of services delivered in home and community based settings. 

Medicaid cuts will result in real harm for real people. Join NHeLP in the fight to defend Medicaid and protect health rights.

This is a defining moment in the fight for quality, affordable health care for all.
