A leading bipartisan mental health advocacy group launched a $1 million targeted TV and radio advertising campaign Monday, calling on senators to protect Medicaid. The Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act proposes implementing deep cuts to Medicaid and imposing new restrictions on the program’s beneficiaries, like work requirements and more eligibility checks. Inseparable also released a report outlining how the proposed Medicaid cuts will impact all 50 states in tandem with the ad campaign.The report states the proposed Medicaid cuts will hurt people with mental health issues or addiction, noting that many Americans with psychiatric disabilities are not covered by the federal disability system. For each state, the report breaks down the percentage of state residents who rely on Medicaid, how many veterans in the state rely on the program, and how many residents are expected to lose health care coverage or access to other mental health programs.
