A minority of Senators are forcing their colleagues to make the impossible choice between slashing Medicaid programs or cutting food stamps for the most vulnerable women and families.

Tell your Senators to ensure the neediest women and families continue to have access to health care by extending Medicaid funding to the states, but without slashing critical funding for food stamps.

As the Senate prepares to leave for the August recess, the lives of struggling women and families hangs in the balance. With a possible vote taking place as early as tomorrow, this may be our last chance to extend these vital funds to ensure that low-income women and families can receive Medicaid services. But it cannot be done by slashing equally critical funds to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Programs (SNAP) that put food on the tables of over 40 million Americans.

We do not need to make this impossible and unnecessary choice. Tell your Senators to pass legislation to extend Medicaid funding to the states without slashing critical funding for Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Programs (SNAP).

Thanks for your continued commitment to women and their families.

Sincerely, Judy Waxman Vice President for Health and Reproductive Rights National Women’s Law Center
