  • Act Now to Oppose Medicaid Funding Clawback
    Act Now to Oppose Medicaid Funding Clawback

    Governor Ferguson’s proposed cuts of nearly $150 million to Medicaid would severely harm access and quality of care. The Legislature committed to funding for assisted living and skilled nursing last year, and rolling back on that commitment will further destabilize an already fragile labor environment.

    Visit the Advocacy Action Center and tell legislators to hold the line and fully fund skilled nursing and assisted living Medicaid care at the levels promised in last year’s operating budget.
