Dear Leader Thune, Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson, and Leader Jeffries,
On behalf of the Trauma Coalition, we write to express strong support for Medicaid and to urge Congress to protect this critical funding stream that supports the trauma care system nationwide. Medicaid is foundational to ensuring that trauma centers and the full continuum of trauma care providers can deliver lifesaving services and remain ready to respond in times of crisis.
The Trauma Coalition represents a broad and integrated network of stakeholders including surgeons, trauma and emergency nurses, emergency medical services (EMS) professionals, trauma and burn centers, and blood centers. These providers and institutions not only care for severely injured patients every day but also form the front lines of our nation’s public health and disaster response infrastructure.
