Washington, D.C. – Following the release of the proposed House Budget Resolution, the Modern Medicaid Alliance issued the following statement:
“Stable Medicaid funding is essential for the health and well-being of over 70 million Americans and the stability of local providers who care for them. Cuts to Medicaid would cause millions of Americans to lose access to care, destabilize rural hospitals and wreak havoc on state budgets. With seniors, veterans, and nearly half of our nation’s children depending on Medicaid, President Trump was right in promising to ‘love and cherish’ the Medicaid program. As budget legislation is considered, Medicaid should be supported and strengthened, not undermined with cuts and loss of coverage.”
About the Modern Medicaid Alliance: The Modern Medicaid Alliance is a partnership between Americans who value Medicaid and more than 100 leading advocacy organizations representing patients, health care workers, children, older adults, people with disabilities, pregnant and postpartum women and health insurance providers. Our mission is to educate policymakers and the public about the benefits of Medicaid to the American people in terms of cost savings, health outcomes and social impact and to highlight how Medicaid is innovating in the delivery of care — especially for America’s most vulnerable citizens — and accountability of the program.
