Medicaid es la red de seguridad de salud más importante. Nos protegerá si lo protegemos. Por eso debemos decirles a nuestros representantes electos que se opongan a legislaciones que aumenten los costos, los límites o la burocracia de Medicaid. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

A9a: Now is the time to make clear to the elected officials who represent us why Medicaid matters to our communities. #WellnessWed Here’s how you can make an impact: ✅Call your Congressional leaders: go.caringacross.org/a/no-cuts-medi…

Medicaid is our most important healthcare safety net. It will be there to protect us so long as we're there to protect it. That means telling your elected officials to oppose any legislation that adds cuts, caps, or other red tape to Medicaid. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

Q9: What can individuals and communities do to advocate for protecting Medicaid funding in their states? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

Medicaid is often a primary source of coverage for mental health services and substance use treatment options. Higher costs and fewer options mean worse outcomes. This creates a higher burden on healthcare systems, justice systems, and the public. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

A8: Medicaid cuts threaten kids' mental health and substance use services, resulting in reduced access to therapy and longer wait times. Millions of youth risk untreated mental health and addiction issues. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

R8b: Medicaid es esencial para que muchas personas tengan acceso a servicios de salud que no podrían pagar de otra forma y es indispensable para la respuesta de la nación a la crisis de salud mental. Cualquier recorte amenaza con eliminar estos vitales servicios. #WellnessWed

A8: Medicaid is the largest payer of behavioral health services, including mental health and substance use. Medicaid plays a pivotal role in the response to the mental health crisis by providing access to care for many who would otherwise not be able to afford it. #WellnessWed

A menudo Medicaid es la principal cobertura para servicios de salud mental y el tratamiento de abuso de sustancias. Costos más altos y menos opciones empeora los pronósticos lo que sobrecargará a los sistemas de salud y de justicia y al público. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

@MamasConPoder R8: Recortar Medicaid amenaza la salud mental de los niños y los servicios contra el abuso de sustancias, reduce el acceso a terapia y aumenta el tiempo de espera. Millones de jóvenes podrían quedar sin tratamiento para su salud mental y problemas de adicción. #WellnessWed
