Protect Children’s Health and Nutrition: Reject Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and Protect Head Start

Congress is moving quickly on a harmful budget reconciliation bill that threatens the health and well-being of millions of children and families nationwide. The proposal includes devastating cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, lifelines that help low-income children and families meet their most basic needs.

With over $715 billion in proposed Medicaid cuts and more than $300 billion slashed from SNAP, this bill would force people off coverage, raise costs, reduce benefits, and leave states like New York to fill in the gap.

Flat-funding would put critical Head Start programs at risk, jeopardizing access to safe, high-quality early learning, health and nutrition services for hundreds of thousands of children nationwide.
