We, the undersigned strongly oppose Medicaid cuts that would significantly impact New Jersey’s children and families.

Medicaid is a lifeline for over 1.8 million New Jersey residents, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Proposed federal cuts would reduce access to healthcare, force families into medical debt, and strain hospitals and nursing homes across our state.

Who relies on Medicaid?

• NJ FamilyCare, supported by state and federal Medicaid dollars and the Children's Health Insurance Program covers 20% of state residents including:
  • 830,000 children
  • 80,000 young people, ages 19-21
  • Children in low- to moderate-income families, living in foster care, and those with complex medical needs
• Medicaid also assists adults with disabilities and seniors living in long-term care facilities.

The Financial Impact on New Jersey

Cuts to Medicaid would force reductions in funding for other critical programs, especially those serving children with disabilities, foster youth, and vulnerable families.

We urge you to stand up for New Jersey and fight to protect Medicaid funding. No cuts, no compromises—Medicaid matters!

Thank you for your time and consideration.
