When Congress returns next week, the House and Senate will dive headlong into negotiations to develop the budget reconciliation package intended to support corporate tax cuts. To pay for the tax extensions, some Congressional Republicans have targeted Medicaid for massive cuts. If Congress cuts Medicaid, millions of infants, toddlers, and school-age children will lose access to the health insurance that pays for the vital services they need. Nearly all States use Medicaid to finance Part C early intervention services for children ages 0-3 who qualify for both programs and on average, about half of children served in Part C are enrolled in Medicaid. The cuts to Medicaid also threaten access to services for millions of qualifying children with disabilities who rely on Medicaid for therapies, services, technology, and other supports in PreK-12 schools.

Tell Congress to support Medicaid and protect students with disabilities.
