We keep talking about proposed cuts to Medicaid by the US Congress because so much is on the line. Cutting or capping this program, which is a big part of the health care bill that the US House of Representatives Passed and that the Senate is now considering, would be devastating.

In this video produced by the DDC Council and The Arc Washington State, individuals and families share what Medicaid does for them, and what cuts would mean.
