Urgent Action Alert: Join Every Mother Counts in telling Congress – No Cuts to Medicaid!
The United States is in the midst of an ongoing maternal health crisis, with women more likely to die from complications of pregnancy and birth than in any other high-resource country. The vast majority of these deaths are preventable with access to quality, respectful care.
Medicaid is a lifeline for mothers and families in the U.S. Medicaid covers more than 40% of births and serves as the primary source of healthcare coverage for more than 70 million women ages 19-49. As such, proposed cuts to Medicaid in the House budget bill would be devastating for millions of families across the country. Use your voice to tell Congress this is unacceptable.
Protecting Medicaid protects maternal health.
