Budget Threatens Health Care and Food Assistance

Families are working just as hard as ever but struggling to keep up with high costs, yet Congressional leaders are proposing to make life harder by stripping hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of health care and food assistance.

Congress has already voted twice in 2025 to pass a budget framework with at least $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and $230 billion in cuts to anti-hunger programs.

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. Arizona’s Senator Kelly and Senator Gallego are working to protect these essential services. 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 your Representative 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. These cuts would be the largest in the history of these services, and they would harm Arizonans and Arizona’s economy.

Arizona has a bipartisan history of supporting health care delivered in a public-private partnership through AHCCCS. Voters like me approved expanding AHCCCS coverage for low-income Arizonans in 2000, and in 2013, Governor Jan Brewer signed a bill expanding eligibility for Arizona's Medicaid program, AHCCCS, under the Affordable Care Act. We still support basic services for Arizonans in need.

These historic cuts are too much, too fast. They will make life harder. Please stand up for Arizona families and the economy by protecting Medicaid and SNAP in the federal budget. Don’t make life harder.
