+Do you or a family member count on Medicaid or Dr. Dynasaur?
+Are you a person with a disability who relies on Medicaid to live independently?
+Are you unable to access dental or other care you need?
+Are you unfairly excluded from Medicaid because of immigration status or other reasons?
+Are you worried about changes proposed to Medicaid?
You are not alone. Over 1 in 3 of us in Vermont is on some form of Medicaid (known as Green Mountain Care in Vermont) or uses a Medicaid-funded service. Many of us find it hard to get full-time work, and what jobs there are pay poverty wages and provide few or no benefits. For children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, the working poor, elders, and many others, Medicaid has been a lifeline in uncertain times.
As healthcare costs rise, politicians are looking for ways to cut spending on Medicaid, which provides healthcare for about 218,000 Vermont residents - one third of the people in Vermont.
This is why we must band together to preserve and expand Medicaid and to make sure that we move towards everyone in Vermont having access to Healthcare!
I hope to see you this Saturday, June 16th at 11am at the UCC Church in St Johnsbury. If you have questions or would like to RSVP, please contact Liz at liz@workerscenter.org or 802-498-8682
