Hands Off Medicaid Campaign

Let's Mobilize To Protect a Lifeline (this page is a work in progress!)

Medicaid and Medicaid Home & Community-Based Services waivers are a lifeline for millions of people with disabilities (and others), providing essential healthcare, home and community-based services, and the supports needed to live community-based lives. Proposed cuts threaten these critical services, jeopardizing not only their health but access to the pleasures of working and living lives that resemble those of people not yet impacted by disability. Worse, these cuts will push tax-paying family members out of the workforce to become full-time caregivers and force layoffs of paid support staff which will harm America's economy. The Hands Off Medicaid Campaign is a national movement to mobilize advocates, families, and allies to fight back—everyone deserves access to the care and dignity they need to thrive as contributing Americans. Granite Staters can protect Medicaid in NH and contribute to the national narrative on why decision-makers must keep their Hands Off Medicaid.
