Tell Congress: Act Before First State Cuts Care on May 1st
In just days, Nebraska will begin the process of stripping healthcare from thousands of people.
Trump and MAGA politicians in Congress created this crisis when they passed cruel Medicaid work requirements in last year’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
Now the damage is starting—and Nebraskans will be the first to feel it unless Congress acts right now. Millions more Americans will lose coverage next.
These cruel policies do little more than punish poor people and defund regional clinics and hospitals.
In previous work requirement rollouts for healthcare and food assistance, the rules failed to increase employment—they simply made it harder to survive. And most people lost coverage due to paperwork errors, reporting glitches, or unstable hours, even if they otherwise qualified.
Congress can act right now—by blocking funding or passing legislation to stop this crisis from spreading nationwide.
If Congress fails to act, the consequences will hit fast. Prescriptions will go unfilled. Chronic conditions will worsen. And families will face impossible choices between care and survival as millions lose care—one state at a time.
Thanks,
