Medicaid at Risk: Your Voice Can Make a Difference

The Medicaid program, a lifeline providing healthcare, housing, and disability services to millions—including children, families, and seniors—is at risk. As people of faith, we are called to raise our voices in defense of the most vulnerable among us. Learn how your voice can make a difference in preserving this vital program serving children, families, and seniors.

Lutheran Services in America (LSA), a trusted social ministry partner of the ELCA, has issued an urgent Advocacy Action Alert. With the recent shift in Congressional leadership, there are proposed deep cuts to Medicaid and other essential domestic programs. Such reductions threaten the health and well-being of countless individuals who rely on these services daily.

The LSA network, which impacts one in 50 Americans annually, invites us to unite in advocacy. “God continues to call the Church—its institutions and believers—to work in society for individual and collective actions that promote health and ensure care for those who suffer,” reminds us the ELCA social statement Caring for Health: Our Shared Endeavor.

Taking action is simple yet impactful. Visit LSA’s Take Action Page to customize your message to lawmakers, identify yourself, and explain your reason for reaching out. Your advocacy can help protect Medicaid from harmful cuts and ensure it continues to serve those in need.

Let’s embody our faith by standing up for justice and care. Thank you for your advocacy and commitment to loving our neighbors as Christ loves us.
