Healthcare workers and patients throughout the country are fighting back against the proposed cuts to Medicaid that Congress is negotiating right now. NYSNA nurses have been doing our part in New York, marching and calling on members of Congress to not vote for any bill that has cuts to Medicaid.
If you’ve been a NYSNA member for more than one minute, you have probably seen our signs, petitions, speak-outs and more calling on healthcare executives to “Listen to the Nurses.”
Frontline nurses know that Medicaid saves lives. One in 3 adults and almost half of all children in New York rely on Medicaid, and Medicaid funds nearly half of all births. Many hospitals throughout the state receive most of their revenue from Medicaid.
Since last fall, NYSNA members at Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville have been fighting to protect safe, quality patient care in their community.
