Physicians: The fight for Medicaid is on. Will you take action? Congress is pushing $880 BILLION in Medicaid cuts—putting millions of patients at risk.

Here’s how you can take action today: - Email your members of Congress: Tell them to keep their hands off Medicaid. - Create a video testimonial: Help recruit more physicians to speak out. - Share the action page: Make it easy for fellow doctors to join the fight. Your voice matters—and together, we can protect the health care our patients rely on. Take action now: https://lnkd.in/e-t8zKkD
