Protect Medicaid

The U.S. House of Representatives and the House Energy and Commerce Committee have proposed a $880 billion Energy and Commerce Committee spending reduction target. For decades, Medicaid has been the safety net for the most vulnerable patients – children, pregnant women, seniors, the disabled, veterans, and low-income working families. Enacting these cuts would cause millions of Medicaid patients to lose their coverage and it is expected that they would also lose some of their existing benefits and access to essential health care services. Once patients lose coverage, their health conditions will worsen and the financial burden will shift to the states, physicians, emergency rooms, hospitals, and all other patients.

Below are some resources regarding these cuts.
