6/21/25 Newsletter - What we are doing is working
STRONGER TOGETHER
The goalposts are moving on Capitol Hill.
Senate Republicans are sprinting just to line up a vote on the budget bill
by July 4 - with weeks or months of back-and-forth
with the House likely to follow.
Their delay is due, in large part, to OUR collective pressure on Congress and OUR WORK making this bill politically toxic.
Now, we’re turning the pressure up even further by calling millions of Medicaid recipients about stopping the cuts next week!
The Senate has made this bill even more toxic on many of the provisions.
On MEDICAID, Senate Republicans plan to cut funding even further
and shift more of the financial burden onto states.
Republicans also remain deeply divided on so-called work requirements.
They're all more than happy to take healthcare away from people,
but who and how many will be cut is driving internal strife.
The divides are so deep, and the cuts so politically toxic, that we have a real shot at flipping four votes to stop reconciliation in the Senate outright. And passing this bill through the Senate isn’t even the hardest part! Either the House will have to vote again to pass the Senate’s version, or party leaders will need to come up with a third version that can pass both chambers.
We can kill this bill by building a strong, cross-party coalition of Americans who strongly oppose it. That’s why we’re calling Medicaid recipients and urging them to connect with their senators.
of Americans this bill could harm most.
