Medicaid provides health coverage to 65 million low-income Americans; CHIP covers 8 million children; Medicare covers 47 million mostly older Americans; and health reform will help 25 million uninsured Americans obtain quality, affordable coverage.  

We work to ensure that these programs provide coverage that meets the needs of low-income children and families, seniors, and people with disabilities. We also work to ensure that proposals that would affect these programs do not slash benefits for, or impose costs on, the nation’s most vulnerable people.
