Save Medicaid Toolkit

Medicaid is Under Threat. The Stakes are High and the Moment is Now.

Illinois Medicaid is a trusted, innovative, and fiscally responsible program. It delivers real value to Illinois taxpayers and keeps our communities healthier.

Today, 1 in 4 Illinoisans rely on Medicaid for access to doctors, prescriptions, and preventive care—that’s more than 3.4 million children, older adults, people with disabilities, and working families across our state.

But now, harmful federal proposals threaten what we’ve built. These proposed cuts could strip health coverage from over 770,000 hardworking Illinoisans who recently gained it through expansion, deepen health disparities, drain billions from Illinois’ economy, disproportionately impact rural and underserved areas, and raise health care costs for everyone, including businesses.
