US EditionMore than 30 Celebrities Come Out Against SNAP, Medicaid Cuts in GOP Megabill
- Over 30 celebrities signed an open letter released on June 25, urging Congress to oppose proposed cuts to SNAP and Medicaid included in the current federal budget legislation.
- The letter was prompted by the bill's proposed cuts, which include $290 million from SNAP and nearly $880 billion in Medicaid reductions affecting millions of Americans.
- The letter highlights that millions of individuals, including a substantial number of young people and elderly beneficiaries, depend on programs like SNAP and Medicaid for food and health care access, and warns that proposed cuts put their food security and coverage at serious risk.
- The letter emphasizes that this is not how individuals in our nation support one another during difficult periods and cautions that the bill could eliminate 9.5 billion meals annually through SNAP while displacing hundreds of thousands from Medicaid.
- The letter and celebrity signatories urge lawmakers to protect these vital programs before the Senate vote expected by July 4 to prevent increased food insecurity and loss of health coverage.
