Washington, D.C. — Following the Senate’s passage of its budget reconciliation legislation, the Modern Medicaid Alliance issued the following statement:
“The Senate’s passage of this bill brings us one step closer to a devastating reality: nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid that would take health coverage and access to care away from millions of Americans. The latest CBO analysis confirms that children, seniors and those with disabilities would lose access to critical and lifesaving care; hospitals and doctors serving rural communities would face the impossible decision to close or severely reduce services; and states will be forced to reckon with untenable budget realities.
“The House should not rush passage of a bill that will cause such widespread disruption to so many Americans. We urge lawmakers to protect their constituents by rejecting Medicaid cuts in this legislation.”
