Speak Up: Help Protect Medicaid

Medicaid is health insurance for people who need help. It helps kids, seniors, people with disabilities, and families who work hard but still can’t afford health care. In Arizona, it’s called AHCCCS (say it like “access”).

Right now, people in Washington, D.C. are talking about making big cuts to Medicaid.

What does that mean?

It means some people could lose their health insurance.
It means fewer doctor visits, less mental health care, and trouble getting medicine.
It means more stress for families who are already struggling.

This would hurt thousands of people in our communities — maybe even you or someone you love.

Your voice matters.

Lawmakers need to hear from regular people — not just lobbyists or politicians. They need to hear that Medicaid is important. That we need to keep it strong.

If they don’t hear from us, they might think we don’t care. And then they might make cuts that could hurt people.

How can you help?

It’s easy. We made a Medicaid Toolkit to help you speak up. It includes:

• A short message you can send to your elected leaders
• A postcard you can fill out and mail
• Talking points for a phone call
• Spanish and English versions

You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to care. The toolkit makes it simple.

Let’s do this together.

When we speak up, we protect health care. We protect our families. We protect each other.

Or ask a team member at NOAH — we can help you get started.

Let’s make sure they hear us loud and clear:
Medicaid is not just a program. It’s a promise.
