As the new Congressional leadership prepares their 2025 legislative agenda, reports show that Medicaid is at risk of being cut. If you have Medicaid, these changes will impact you!
According to Justice in Aging, Medicaid "reform" proposals will lead towards taking federal funding away from states or restrict eligibility. Nearly 80 million (including 13 million seniors and people with disabilities) rely on Medicaid for health and long term care.
It is important for disability advocates to be prepared with the knowledge and tools to defend Medicaid. We need to tell Congress and the new administration the importance Medicaid is for us, for our independence, and of course our healthcare.
Please read the Medicaid Threats Fact Sheet for more info on these proposed cuts.
