Please Contact Your Members of Congress and Urge Them to Protect Medicaid and Healthcare Access for Illinois Children and Families
Federal Medicaid cuts under serious consideration in Washington DC represent a significant and immediate threat to the patients cared for by Lurie Children’s and the communities we serve. The proposals emerging from Congress would deliver a devastating blow to the state Medicaid budget and the health and well-being of our most vulnerable children and families. As Congress continues to deliberate pivotal budget legislation, we respectfully ask you to contact your Congressional representatives and urge them to reject efforts to cut Medicaid funding, which will weaken this essential program, reduce access to care and increase the burden on hospitals to provide unreimbursed care. It is critical that members of Congress understand the direct impact their decisions will have on children, families, and those who care for them in Illinois.
This legislation is presently under consideration in the House of Representatives. We ask that you contact your members of Congress today.
If you have any questions, please contact Blake Kilmer in External Affairs at bkilmer@luriechildrens.org
Thank you for your consideration.
