"Help Save Medicaid with Personal Stories"
A message/invitation from Families USA
[[log in to unmask]]:
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

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

Help us save the safety net for 51 million Americans.
