People with disabilities need access to health care and other disability services and food assistance to live independent lives.
Medicaid and SNAP make this possible.
Medicaid:
- Provides essential health care to millions of children and adults with disabilities, so they can live healthier, fuller lives.
- Helps infants with disabilities get a strong start in life through vital developmental support.
- Pays for people with disabilities to get assistance from home care workers for daily tasks, ensuring independence and dignity.
SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program):
- Helps low-income families, including people with disabilities, afford groceries and put food on the table, so no one goes hungry.
Right now, Congress is making big decisions about our nation’s priorities and how to pay for them. They are voting on policies that will take away funding from Medicaid health care and services and SNAP benefits—services that people with disabilities rely on to live healthy lives.
If Medicaid and SNAP are cut, millions of lives will be deeply impacted.
ACT NOW to tell Congress to protect Medicaid and SNAP!
