As we shared yesterday, a number of dangerous changes are being proposed to shrink Medicaid. Millions of people rely on Medicaid for healthcare. What would you do if your medical services, prescriptions, or home/community supports were reduced or taken away? The time to act is NOW.
Here are some things you can do to help today.
