Millions of Americans Could Lose Medicaid Coverage

GOP Seeks to Drastically Cut Medicaid Spending — How Are Healthcare Leaders Reacting?

House Republicans introduced a proposal seeking to cut Medicaid spending by hundreds of billions of dollars. Healthcare leaders are slamming the budget plan, highlighting that it would result in millions of people losing coverage, as well as a surge in uncompensated care for providers.



Says a Democrat shill.

"Bobby Kogan, senior director of Federal Budget Policy at Center for American Progress and former adviser to the director of the Office of Management and Budget under the previous presidential administration — wrote on X that this plan would undoubtedly require major cuts to Medicaid."

"Healthcare leaders" are scared their profits will suffer.


:rofl2:
 

GOP Seeks to Drastically Cut Medicaid Spending — How Are Healthcare Leaders Reacting?​

So it hasn't been cut? Got it
 
Medicaid is the largest federal government program providing medical and health-related services to low-income people across the country and currently serves some 72 million Americans.

Lawmakers in some states have looked at reducing the eligibility for Medicaid, either by letting existing legislation expire or by actively repealing the expansion brought about by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which could impact the healthcare of millions.

But according to KFF Health News, nine states—Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia—have trigger laws that require termination of the expansion if the share of federal funding drops.

While individual states pay for Medicaid, the federal government provides states with an enhanced federal matching rate, known as FMAP, of up to 90 percent for their expansion populations. If federal funding falls below a certain rate in these states with trigger laws, it means the expansion of Medicaid could end, cutting health coverage for potentially millions of Americans.

"While laws in the so-called 'trigger' states require action, the substantial loss of federal funding would likely force all states to reassess whether to continue the expansion coverage," KFF Health News reported in November 2024.

The Oligarchy doesn't give a shit how many Americans are dead and dying in the streets.

What they don't realize is the wisdom of James Baldwin's words in a nation that has more guns than people. LOL

I know what MAGAts want.
You are doubling down on your omniscience fallacy, I see. When you claim omnisicence, you have a certain obligation to get it right. When you fail to meet your obligation, your argument is discarded.

Oh, your argument is discarded.

You're the one who said this: "We the People want". You're the one who claim omniscience.
