Tell Congress to reject Medicaid & food assistance cuts
Quick advocacy you can take today
Hello KIRC fam!
First, let me extend a Happy Father’s Day weekend to all the dads out there.
Second, WELCOME to our newest subscribers - glad you have joined the KIRC tribe! And a heartfelt THANK YOU to a growing number of paid subscribers. Your support is appreciated more than you know and it truly inspires and motivates me to keep going in the Keeping It REAL Caregiving journey. YOUR actions remind me that folks out there ARE paying attention and consuming this content - thank you!
My mother, who I cared for in her final years is the motivation behind KIRC. My physical caregiving days are behind me. Mom passed in 2020, and I miss her each day. But, the work to share information, resources, personal insights, and yes - support for each other, is more important than ever. Across the country, programs and resources for those most vulnerable are at risk.
Here’s a quick and easy way to take an Advocacy Action, then get back to your weekend.
Many of you are already members of AARP so you likely received this. But if not you can still take action.
Congress: Stand with seniors in the budget bill!
Congress is considering health care proposals in its budget bill that would make Medicaid harder to enroll in and easier to lose coverage, all because of bureaucratic red tape. This would harm millions of Americans 50-plus who rely on Medicaid to get and stay healthy, remain in their homes, and afford critical health care services.
Congress is also proposing cuts to food assistance, which helps millions of older adults put food on the table, particularly as they face rising food prices and financial strain.
Email your lawmakers now and demand that they REJECT Medicaid cuts, food assistance cuts, and anything in the budget bill that would make life harder for older adults.
