The decisions made in Congress shape the health and well-being of generations to come. The Senate should advance a budget that strengthens – not weakens – critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
Unless the Senate intervenes, millions of patients and families could soon lose access to the health care and food they rely on. We’re calling on the Senate to reject harmful cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. newsroom.heart.org/news/senate-mu…
