Lawmakers are calling it “big and beautiful.” We call it what it really is: The Dirty Diaper Bill—and it’s making its way through Congress. If passed, it would launch a full-scale attack on Medicaid, with devastating consequences.
🔹 Who’s at risk?
Older adults
People with disabilities
Caregivers and families
Hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities
The future of healthcare in America
🔹 What's at stake?
Massive staff cuts in nursing homes, leaving residents in soiled diapers for hours
Closure of hospitals and care facilities
Increased suffering and preventable deaths
Loss of essential services for millions
A weakened safety net just when we need it most
🔹 Why this matters:
This bill isn’t just cruel—it’s unnecessary. It threatens the very fabric of care that holds our communities together.
✊ The Gray Panthers have always fought for intergenerational justice and truth-telling in the face of power. This is one of those moments.
