Here's what to say:

I'm calling about the $911 billion in Medicaid cuts signed into law last July.
CBO projects 10 million more Americans will be uninsured by 2034. Work requirements alone account for $326 billion in cuts, and Arkansas already proved they don't increase employment.
CMS just proposed capping state-directed payments, which would strip another $775 billion from hospitals and providers. The comment deadline is July 21.
At least 15 states have trigger laws that could drop Medicaid expansion when the federal match falls. That puts 20 million expansion enrollees at risk.
I need the Senator to block the CMS rule, restore the enhanced FMAP, and repeal these work requirements.

Dear [Senator/Representative name],

I am writing as a constituent from [city, state] about stop the $911 billion medicaid cut.

CBO projects 10 million more Americans will be uninsured by 2034. Work requirements alone account for $326 billion in cuts, and Arkansas already proved they don't increase employment.

CMS just proposed capping state-directed payments, which would strip another $775 billion from hospitals and providers. The comment deadline is July 21.

At least 15 states have trigger laws that could drop Medicaid expansion when the federal match falls. That puts 20 million expansion enrollees at risk.

The facts support this: $911 billion in federal Medicaid spending cut over ten years by the OBBBA. 10 million more Americans projected uninsured by 2034. $775 billion additional cuts if CMS directed-payment cap rule is finalized. 380 rural hospitals at serious risk of closure after Medicaid funding losses.

I am asking you to take a public position on this issue and act accordingly. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

The One Big Beautiful Bill cut $911 billion from Medicaid over ten years. Work requirements hit in January 2027. States are already losing enhanced federal matching funds. The CBO projects 10 million more uninsured Americans by 2034.

On May 22, CMS proposed capping state-directed Medicaid payments at Medicare rates, which would strip another $775 billion if finalized. Rural hospitals are already losing $465 million in patient revenue this year. At least 15 states have trigger laws that could drop Medicaid expansion entirely if federal funding falls below set thresholds.

Call your senators. Demand they block the CMS rule, restore the enhanced FMAP, and repeal the work requirements that already failed in Arkansas.
