Congress is continuing negotiations on the reconciliation legislation that places health care for millions of people at risk. NOW is the time to push back on these cruel cuts to health care that will devastate older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, families, hospitals, and communities across the country.
Resources to guide advocates and beneficiaries in fighting back:
- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), released a new report detailing how reconciliation legislation would increase the number of uninsured in every state, based on responses from more than 750 health care providers across 47 states and the District of Columbia.
- Center for American Progress virtual conversation on the far-reaching consequences of the proposed budget reconciliation bill on older adults, people living with disabilities, and other Medicare enrollees.
- Analysis of the impact on rural hospitals:
- Center for Children and Families from Georgetown University blog post on the Medicaid provider tax provisions in the Senate Finance language.
