National Call-In Day
What's at Stake
The changes to Medicaid within the House-passed budget reconciliation bill would devastate health centers, their patients and the communities they serve. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that nearly 11 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Please call your member of Congress using ACH’s Toll-Free 1-877-224-2015 Advocacy Hotline and ask them to stop this bill from moving forward.
