Congress lied. Medicaid cuts may force my physical therapist to drop patients like me.

HR1, aka the Big Beautiful Bill, has led to devastating cuts to Medicaid in our state. Here is Lydia's story.

Congress lied. Medicaid cuts may force my physical therapist to drop patients like me (Opinion) Despite claims by my U.S. representative, Gabe Evans, that my Medicaid and access to care would be unaffected by H.R. 1, I now have proof to the contrary.

As part of the national campaign, neighbors, patients, families, and advocates are uniting for health care that truly serves our communities.

Funding cuts threaten the care we rely on, and every household will feel the impact. This is our moment to gather, be loud, and protect what matters.

Our Legislative Wrap-Up, co-hosted by the Bell Policy Center, was a great reminder of what’s possible when we come together: community, momentum, and shared purpose. Grateful for the chance to connect and celebrate this work. ✨🌠
