![Trans people need your support right now! The House of Representatives has passed a cruel budget bill that included BANNING all transgender healthcare coverage for Medicaid recipients. A great way to help remind the government that trans lives are important to everyone is to contact your senators. If you're not sure what to say, we've also included a script!
Hello, I am [full namel, a constituent from [location]; my zip code is [zipl. I'm calling today about the budget that the house passed late Wednesday night.
This budget will cut $500 billion from Medicaid.
As a result, millions of people will lose their health care, and thousands of people will die.
One cut is blatant, discriminatory language that denies using Medicaid and ACA funds for gender affirming care.
The scientific and medical consensus could not be more clear: gender affirming care is necessary for trans people.
Gender affirming care saves lives.
Republicans are using the federal budget to deprive trans people of their healthcare. They are pushing an eliminationist agenda. Any budget that prevents access to gender affirming care will be signed in blood. Please, refuse to allow our federal government to sign the deaths of thousands of Americans, and oppose the Republicans' eliminationist agenda. Fund Medicaid. Fund the ACA. Protect trans lives.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fywmnlsihyswphls6quzy6er/bafkreiaznldljvh5v365tqlk3bewmbkhavu377vn3svmycqe6f2yvrzq6q)
