"Help Save Medicaid
with Personal Stories"
A message & invitation from Families
USA
Do you know a senior, a child, a person with a disability, or a working
family in your state that has Medicaid coverage? If so, we would love to
hear from you and them! Please contact Alexandra Zavala, Communications
Outreach Coordinator, at 1-800-593-5041 ext. 3614 or at
azavala@familiesusa.org.
We are embarking on a campaign to protect the Medicaid program from federal
cuts. To communicate our message clearly and in a way that resonates with a
broader audience--including the news media, state legislators, Senators,
and the general public--we need to humanize this debate. And the best way
to do that is by enlisting the help of those who depend on Medicaid.
Seniors, children, people with disabilities, and working families in your
state can speak on behalf of the thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries across
the country who are so vulnerable to program cutbacks. Their voices can and
should be heard in Washington, DC by Senators who can put a stop to any
attempt to cut Medicaid funds.
We are looking for people who believe that Medicaid is a vital health care
lifeline. We are looking for people who can agree to speak to reporters in
person and have their pictures taken to better illustrate our message. We
are looking for those who can help spread the word that the federal
government wants to cut their one and only source of health coverage and
that this is not only unfair, it is morally wrong.
We are looking for those
who can talk about their fears of becoming uninsured and having to choose
between paying for rent and food and paying for health insurance. We are
looking for hardworking Americans who play by the rules and depend on
Medicaid for their health care. We are looking for children, who do not
choose to become sick, and seniors, who cannot be blamed for living a long
life. We are looking for the faces of Americans across the country.
If you can help, or if you know others who can connect us with people on
Medicaid in your state, please contact us. You can reach us through
Alexandra Zavala, Communications Outreach Coordinator, at 1-800-593-5041
ext. 3614 or at
azavala@familiesusa.org.
Help us save the safety net for 51 million Americans.
