Today, the House Energy and Commerce Committee is making key decisions about the future of Medicaid. Over 70 million people in the United States rely on Medicaid to access health care and long-term services and supports, including almost 40% of people living with active epilepsy between 18–64 years old. The reconciliation package includes deep cuts to Medicaid that would lead to substantial coverage losses for millions of Americans and severely impact state revenues by cutting provider taxes. Urge your members of Congress to oppose any cuts to the Medicaid program in budget reconciliation! Take action to #ProtectMedicaid: https://bit.ly/EFAPM

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (#AANHPI) Heritage Month—a time to honor these communities, while also raising awareness about critical health issues they may face. For individuals of Asian descent, certain epilepsy medications can pose a heightened risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), especially in those with a specific genetic marker. Recognizing and understanding these risks is essential for safer, more effective care. This month, let’s support AANHPI individuals with epilepsy by promoting education and awareness.
