ONE QUICK ACTION by 5PM TUESDAY APRIL 22! Contact these legislators with your universal health care budget requests!
For this action, we'll be lobbying the entire Legislature. Use this handy link to contact your representatives and senator directly with your message.
Please ask your legislators to include these important health care items in the final budget:
- $514,000 for the biennium to continue the work of the Universal Health Care Commission
- $1 million to design an automatic enrollment system to get folks losing Medicaid on to other state health care programs
- $76.8 million to continue coverage for 13,000 low-income immigrants who do not qualify for federal health care coverage
Suggested script:
Dear Senator X/Representative X,Please ask your budget negotiators to include these important health care items in their final budget:
- $514,000 for the biennium to continue the work of the Universal Health Care Commission
- $1 million to design an automatic enrollment system to get folks losing Medicaid on to other state health care programs
- $76.8 million to continue coverage for 13,000 low-income immigrants who do not qualify for federal health care coverage
By including each of these items in the final budget you ensure that even in these difficult and challenging times, we are able to keep healthcare coverage available to residents of our state and find a pathway, through the work of the UHCC, for providing coverage for all our residents through a single payer, universal health care system.
Thank you for your continued support of this work, and for all you are doing to protect vital services!
Sincerely,
