Yesterday Medicaid Matters NY and Healthcare For All NY hosted a Webinar looking at threats to NYS health coverage under the ‘big, beautiful bill’ the House is currently moving forward. Specifically, the Webinar focused on helping participants understand the impact of the cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, and why we need to take action now to protect health coverage for an estimated 1.5 million New Yorkers.

Also as a reminder, tomorrow morning (1:00 am Wednesday to be precise) the House Rules Committee will debate, and then vote on the House budget bill (we sent you info on the latest version this morning).   

Below you will find key resources from the Webinar, along with ways to get or stay involved in the fight to preserve Medicaid and other critical entitlement programs.  We can NOT let House GOP members succeed in taking apart our healthcare system.
