Stop Medicaid Cuts!!!!!

🚨3 Days Left to Save Medicaid! 🚨

House Republicans have postponed the vote which means now is the time to take action to protect Medicaid!

Though the vote has been postponed, House leadership is still set on passing these devastating cuts that would affect millions of Americans. The Partnership to End the HIV, STI, and Hepatitis Epidemics has released a joint press release urging Congress to reject these horrible cuts to Medicaid and attempts to block access to health care through work reporting requirements.

CHCANYS stands for Harlem United. And We stand with them. Oppose the proposed cuts to Medicaid. Our work - OUR COMMUNITY - depends on it.

CHCANYS Statement on Proposed Medicaid Cuts

“One in every eight people in New York relies on a Community Health Center for care – and more than 60% of those people are covered by Medicaid. The proposed changes to the Medicaid program would result in hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers losing coverage – putting patients and the CHCs that serve them in jeopardy. CHCANYS stands with Community Health Centers across the state and the nation in opposing Medicaid cuts.”
Rose Duhan, CHCANYS President and CEO

Our own Anthony Randolph and Dr. Yury Parra share the very real impact that cuts to HIV prevention and treatment will have on our communities. Take three minutes to hear their voices in this piece from Scripps News.

Keep speaking truth to power! Way too much is at stake.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS! Medicaid and SNAP – essential programs that our community rely on are in jeopardy. The U.S. Senate is planning a vote this week on the house-passed budget resolution that contains trillions of dollars of cuts to vital programs, including SNAP and Medicaid. And why are these cuts being proposed? To put more money in the pockets of the wealthiest Americans. It’s ridiculous!

These programs are a lifeline for Harlem United clients, and millions of others across New York State and the rest of the country. Cutting them and/or including restrictive work requirements to access these entitlements (when many people who have them DO work already) will simply make it impossible for people to live healthfully. Our community deserves better.

Your representatives need to hear from YOU. Please call your senators today to tell them how vital Medicaid and SNAP are for you, your family and Harlem United clients.

Today, we joined the Supportive Housing Network of New York at the Rally demanding that DOGE stop their attempts to slash HUD staff and funding. Housing is a RIGHT and these cuts would only worsen the housing crisis for millions of people in New York City and across the State.

There was actually some good news among all the chaos of this week... Opioid settlement funds are on their way to NYC based nonprofits! Let's celebrate this news and also continue to push The City to support the expansion of evidence-based practices including access to low-barrier harm reduction services. Compassionate care without judgement saves lives. (Thanks Caroline Lewis and Gothamist for your reporting!)

The money could benefit the 14 syringe service programs across the five boroughs that offer harm reduction services.
