As you know, Medicare and Medicaid are essential to rural healthcare providers and communities. The proposed cuts will severely compromise access to healthcare for rural residents and hamper local economies that depend on healthcare providers for jobs and economic development. Colorado’s Congressional delegation needs to hear from you about the importance of Medicare and Medicaid to rural Colorado. Please take five minutes today or no later than Wednesday July 13 to contact Senator Bennet, Senator Udall, and your Representative with this message: “Please protect Medicare and Medicaid as you consider changes and cuts in the federal budget. Rural communities rely on these programs and significant cuts will threaten access to care and economic growth in rural Colorado.” Feel free to personalize your message with how Medicare and Medicaid impact your community.
