This is our first diary here at Daily Kos, and we're very excited about this opportunity to reach out to the dKos community on issues relating to health care.
It may not seem like it, but this is a very special week--not only for progressives but for all Americans as well. On Saturday, July 30, we'll celebrate the 40th birthday of Medicaid, America's health care program for the most vulnerable among us. To commemorate the occasion, Families USA has produced a Flash e-card celebrating Medicaid's accomplishments. At the end if the animation, you'll have a chance to take action to protect Medicaid from harmful cuts pending in Congress. Follow this link to view the e-card and take action:
