The House is about to vote on a budget resolution that sets up big cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), threatening to take away heath care and food assistance from tens of millions of people. At the same time, this budget resolution extends trillions of dollars of tax breaks for the wealthy, pours money into deportation and family separation, and further bloats the Pentagon budget.

While the Senate tried to hide the level of cuts, the House numbers are clear, pointing to cutting Medicaid by as much as $880 billion and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by up to $230 billion.

This vote allows the House and Senate to move forward with specific and draconian cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

Medicaid provides health coverage for more than 70 million people, including 2 in 5 births. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) supports more than 40 million people at risk of food insecurity. Rather than cutting Medicaid and SNAP to fund unnecessary tax cuts for the wealthy and harsh deportation and boarder militarization measures, Congress should be focused on policies that will strengthen communities and support family flourishing.

This will be a close vote. It’s important your representative hears from you about these priorities. Use your voice and tell Congress not to take health care and nutrition assistance away from people. Instead, protect SNAP and Medicaid from cuts and harmful changes in upcoming budget legislation.
