Hands Off Our Healthcare
Time is Running Out
For the last three years, the federal government, has declared both national and public health emergencies to increase access to critical services, including testing, vaccination, direct payments, insurance coverage, etc. The public health emergency for COVID-19 has been renewed several times, most recently in February to expire on May 11, 2023.
A Health Crisis
If expanded Medicaid coverage is terminated, more than half of those who will lose healthcare will be people of color.
