No cuts to Medicaid!

Babies need access to health care! For nearly half of America’s babies, Medicaid is a literal lifeline, guaranteeing access to screenings, sick and well-child visits, dental care, and other critical services that improve long-term physical and mental health, educational, and economic outcomes. Medicaid does not just treat illness—it can prevent problems before they start. For babies with developmental delays and disabilities, timely and appropriate early intervention can reduce the severity, improve developmental outcomes, reduce long-term costs, and set babies up for success in school and life. 

Medicaid operates as a federal-state partnership, providing vital healthcare coverage to millions of infants and toddlers. Without continued federal support, states may be forced to scale back services, leaving millions of infants and toddlers without basic medical needs met to ensure they are healthy enough to thrive at home, in early care and learning programs and as they enter elementary school

Babies need Congress to 

Oppose cuts to Medicaid as well as imposing burdensome requirements on recipients, or limitations on eligibility, duration, benefits, or covered services for children or parents–to give young children a healthy start. Learn more about what’s at stake if Congress cuts Medicaid.
