Stepping in when our government steps out. #NewbornScreening #PublicHealth

Today, the U.S. #Senate passed legislation that, if signed into law, would impose dramatic and harmful barriers to #Medicaid, threatening access to quality, affordable health care for the #RareDisease patients who need it most. The fight isn’t over, and we urgently need your help! TAKE ACTION TODAY and urge your Representatives in the House to reject the Senate-passed bill! 1. Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and request to be connected with your Representative’s office. We prepared this quick script to help guide your conversation: bit.ly/4k8Wsro 2. Send this action alert urging your Representative to stand with the rare disease community and protect Medicaid: bit.ly/41uFH3W
