Budget Threatens Health Care and Food Assistance

The budget process marches forward in Washington, and we continue to learn how devastating the budget cuts they’ve targeted for health care and food security would be to Arizonans and our economy.

Families are working just as hard as ever but struggling to keep up with high costs, yet Congressional leaders are proposing to strip hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of health care and food assistance. They are targeting these lifelines as they extend and expand tax cuts for the highest-income Americans and special interests.

Congress has already voted twice in 2025 to pass a budget framework with at least $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid.

Our congressional delegation still has time to make decisions that stand with Arizonans by taking Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cuts off the table. Congress should not make rushed, reckless cuts that will make it even harder for families to get by. Both Arizona Senators Gallego and Kelly are working to protect these essential programs for Arizona. Their efforts continue to emphasize the potentially devastating impacts of these budget cuts.

By working together, we can defend Medicaid/AHCCCS, and protect SNAP food assistance. It’s worth keeping a child from going to bed filled with hunger, ensuring that the 64,000 AHCCCS members who have cancer can get the care they need, and preventing the economic disruption of these cuts in our state.

Take a moment to educate our Representatives about how you, your family, and your community would be affected.

We just need some information to connect you with your Representatives.

Congress D

Subject: Protect What Keeps Arizona Families Safe and Healthy

Message:

As your constituent, I urge you to reject any federal budget proposals that threaten Medicaid (AHCCCS) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These basic need programs are lifelines for hundreds of thousands of Arizonans — especially vulnerable children and Arizonans.

Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would increase food insecurity, reduce access to health care, and deepen hardship for families who are already struggling to make ends meet. In Arizona, more than 2 million people have health care through AHCCCS, and over 800,000 rely on SNAP.

Head Start, child care funds, and utility assistance have bipartisan support in Congress. I care about these programs and ask you to ensure there are no interruptions to these critical services for Arizona's children and families.

Please stand up for Arizona families by protecting Medicaid and SNAP in the federal budget. Without these essential programs, our children, families, and our economy cannot thrive.
