Prevent Eligible Americans From Losing Medicaid

Sign the Petition

Millions of Americans could lose their healthcare in just weeks — not because they no longer qualify for Medicaid, but because of new bureaucratic hurdles that could strip away their coverage.

Starting January 1, 2027, new federal Medicaid work-reporting requirements will force millions of low-income Americans to navigate additional paperwork to keep their health insurance. Even people who are already working, caring for loved ones, or managing serious health conditions could lose coverage if they can't successfully navigate the new reporting system.

16 U.S. senators are now warning that states aren't ready. They've called for a two-year delay before the requirements take effect. With the deadline approaching, congressional leaders have an opportunity to prevent eligible Americans from losing the healthcare they depend on.

Tell Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson: "Delay Medicaid work-reporting requirements for two years. Protect eligible Americans from losing healthcare because of paperwork and administrative failures."

According to estimates cited by the senators from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, more than five million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage because of the new requirements. Many would still qualify for the program but could fall through the cracks of complicated verification systems.

Losing Medicaid isn't just an administrative inconvenience. It can mean skipping prescriptions, delaying cancer screenings, losing access to mental healthcare, or being forced to choose between medical treatment and paying the rent.

States have had less than 18 months to prepare for these sweeping changes. They must update eligibility systems, train workers, and notify millions of people about new requirements. Rushing implementation risks preventable coverage losses.

Add your name now and demand that congressional leaders act before the January 1 deadline. No one who qualifies for Medicaid should lose their healthcare simply because of red tape.

Thanks for everything you do.
