Congress passed a compromise budget resolution in April that sets the stage for the reconciliation process. As a reminder, this is a powerful legislative tool that allows certain budget-related bills to advance with a simple majority vote. As Congress returns from a two-week recess and committees now begin developing detailed legislation based on these budgetary directives, it is critical that we make our voices heard.
We must ensure that provider taxes are protected. Any reduction in this would directly threaten care for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Our lawmakers must understand that cuts to the provider tax equate to cuts in essential care.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
If your senator or congressman is a Republican, you should contact them ASAP. It is simple for you to directly contact key Republican members of Congress. Visit the
AHCA/NCAL Advocacy Action Center to see step-by-step instructions on how to:
- Send an email: Contact your U.S. Senators and Representatives urging them to oppose any reduction in the provider tax. These messages will be directed to their Washington, D.C. offices.
- Make a call: Reach out to your members of Congress at their district offices and share your concerns about the potential impact of provider tax reductions.
Every call and email make a difference. Thank you for standing with us to protect Medicaid and the most vulnerable individuals who depend on it. Contact the AHCA/NCAL
