Policy changes shouldn’t block people from health care—but that’s what the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will do.

Hear from our Executive Director, Jeremy Lapedis, on what this means for Washtenaw County. Our services will be even more critical to the health and well-being of Washtenaw County moving forward. Thanks to Concentrate for reaching out to us on this issue.

Eleven million Medicaid recipients nationwide are now in danger of losing their health insurance, and Medicare is also expected to see major budget cuts. So what does all of this mean for Washtenaw County?

🌟 Repost 🌟

Medicaid provides health care for 2.6 million people across Michigan including 1 million kids, 170,000 seniors, and 300,000 people with disabilities.

Over 60,000 community members are covered by Medicaid.

Right now, proposed cuts to Medicaid could possibly terminate access to healthcare. If this goes into effect, the cost of care will go up for every single American and, here in Michigan, up to 750,000 people could lose access care.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) wants to hear from Michiganders about how Medicaid impacts their lives. You can share your story here: https://bit.ly/mdhhsst
