Slashing Medicaid funding puts Maine domestic violence survivors at risk

When the U.S. House of Representatives passed its “big beautiful bill” last week, it sent shivers down the spines of domestic violence advocates because we know what slashing Medicaid funding would mean for people facing domestic violence. The deep cuts to Medicaid in this legislation would create barriers to survivors and their children finding pathways to safety, a practically insurmountable obstacle for survivors who live in rural communities. That’s why we’re looking to Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King to ensure the U.S. Senate rejects these devastating cuts to the healthcare so many Mainers rely on.
