MichUHCAN 2025 Membership Renewal!!

May 2025

Dear Supporter,

We need your help!

We are fighting to keep federal funding for Michigan’s Medicaid programs in the State of Michigan. 

You may be aware that the House of Representatives is planning to propose $880 million in cuts from health and human services – most of which will come from the Medicaid program. According to the State of Michigan, more than 70% of Michigan’s Medicaid budget comes from federal funding. Cuts to federal funding will jeopardize coverage for more than 2.6 million Michiganians and threaten Michigan’s hospitals, community health centers, and nursing homes with closure.

Fifty years ago, Americans committed to providing access to health care to the elderly, infants and children, people with disabilities and people who work low-wage jobs with no employer provided health insurance.  In 1965 Congress created the Social Security Act.  Now, in 2025, Congress is considering cutting or eliminating federal funding to the states for their Medicaid programs. Medicaid is a lifeline for people who benefit from its coverage.  It is not optional for them to have Medicaid in order to have access to health care services.

We have placed this as our highest priority. Which is not to diminish our longstanding commitment to achieving a meaningful, universal health insurance system in Michigan. But now, our safety net is at risk. We need to focus on saving the Healthy Michigan plan.

We need your financial support to sustain the voice that will not cease until Congress and the Michigan Legislature are in accord with keeping the Medicaid funding that we already have.  We are not asking for more than what we’ve had for residents in the State of Michigan for over five decades.  We are communicating with our Michigan Congressional Delegation and with the Michigan Legislature to voice our concerns on behalf of the 3 million Michiganians who rely upon Medicaid for their health care.
