The House majority dropped their long awaited budget reconciliation package last night. That package includes $880 billion in directed cuts to Medicaid.

WE NEED TO ACT NOW TO LET CONGRESS KNOW THAT CUTTING 11% OF THE FEDERAL MEDICAID BUDGET IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WILL RESULT IN DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES FOR THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY!!

Speaker Johnson has announced that he will bring the budget resolution to the full floor at the end of February (read more about that  <https://ccdc.nationbuilder.com/r?u=i2QiHBoTR8DC-SBBYQgkxOeDIvlaHyrIfn7_XeqBy2MQ0cepJUwAvzDI98GrJ6mK55DJN0ZMbSqpWYrI36ZSf0rBv4UjzfrmRH9vFy4pnipT0PtV7fMp5ku6d7aXpQ9X&e=4cd35b9ab8ed0557971e221838cce9ea&utm_source=ccdc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=urgent_update_on_congressional&n=1> here and  <https://ccdc.nationbuilder.com/r?u=qgdt0IzfN3xy9SQ8aauPlmAQ--cXIYFXQOmCpcMFA1yD-kmHyszx3E4bjQYL8p9og_7JJ7lGQ9i7XU4hCGJfp-CC4cI7U_VKCy2PTLNDmliJBdjxIsFYsJ-_rSC_heIjDRzYXGpm9lux-0LsYOVbDNPBbYuR8c0FFCp8r6Lv9xM&e=4cd35b9ab8ed0557971e221838cce9ea&utm_source=ccdc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=urgent_update_on_congressional&n=2> here).
