Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of families
April marks the 8th annual Medicaid Awareness Month. This year, it comes at a critical time: Medicaid is once again under threat from Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans who are pushing to slash funding, roll back Medicaid expansion, and rip health care away from millions of Americans—all to pay for tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.
Defend Medicaid. Defend Our Health Care.
Medicaid is under attack—again.
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are reviving their decade-long crusade to gut Medicaid, risking health care for over 72 million Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families. They want to slash funding, end Medicaid expansion, and impose bureaucratic hurdles—just to hand more tax breaks to billionaires and giant corporations. Their dangerous proposals would:
-
Rip coverage away from millions of Americans
-
Close rural hospitals that communities rely on
-
Force states to raise taxes or slash education funding
-
Punish working people with burdensome paperwork
-
End Medicaid coverage for 4 million people in states with trigger laws
This isn’t hypothetical. These cuts would hit every community—and fast.
By The Numbers
- Republican threats to Medicaid put health care at risk for 72 million (21 percent of) Americans, including:

- 9.1 million people with disabilities
- 8.3 million seniors
- Republicans will create a $50 billion hole in state Medicaid budgets to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.
- Republicans threaten care for 18.5 million people on Medicaid by imposing lifetime caps.
- Republicans could deny coverage to 36 million Americans through burdensome bureaucratic reporting requirements.
