Don't take away our care!

Health care for children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities is on the line. Tell Congress: Don’t take our care away!

Take Action

Our health is on the line.

Millions of us in California – including children, seniors, and people with disabilities – stand to lose our health care because Congress is rushing through a plan to slash more than $800 billion from Medicaid (known as Medi-Cal in California).

Congress is rushing to rip care away from children and seniors before Americans learn these budget cuts will pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and corporations.

Take action

Stop the plan to:

  • Take life-saving health care away from millions of children, seniors, and people with disabilities
  • Drive up health care costs for Californians already struggling to pay the bills
  • Force closures of hospitals, health clinics, and nursing homes in our communities and layoffs of tens of thousands of healthcare workers

The Fight for Our Health coalition includes seniors, people with disabilities, health care workers, veterans, and health care advocates. Join our fight to stop cuts that will cost lives.
