Medicaid/Medi-Cal is a lifeline for millions of Americans, including working families in California. It provides essential healthcare to children, seniors, people with disabilities, and public employees who rely on Medi-Cal for their families and preventative care.
But now, politicians in Washington are pushing to cut Medicaid/Medi-Cal—all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. These cuts would put even more strain on our healthcare system, making it harder for working people to access care while the ultra-wealthy benefit.
The Stakes for California
If Medicaid is gutted, families who depend on it for critical healthcare—especially low-income workers, seniors, and children—will be left without the coverage they need. State and local governments, including California, will face devastating budget shortfalls, leading to fewer resources for public services and further reductions in healthcare access. Families will be forced to make impossible choices between paying for medical care or other basic needs, all while billionaires get tax breaks.
We can’t let them take healthcare away just to benefit the richest 1%.
