We were shocked to see that the Senate and House are both proposing a huge budget cut for Medicaid by assuming over $350 million in savings for “program integrity.” The Health Care Authority says these extraordinary savings assumptions are unrealistic. Even worse, the Senate includes significant additional Medicaid cuts (see our budget update for details). There’s no getting around it: this is a large cut to the Medicaid program. If it remains in the budget, we can expect that Medicaid services and/or eligibility will need to be eliminated.

TAKE ACTION (1 MINUTE!): Contact your Washington State Senator and Representatives to demand that there be NO CUTS TO THE MEDICAID BUDGET. Find your Representatives and Senator with their contact info HERE.

Then, fill out this 10-second survey so we can help you take action in the future. Thank you!
