New federal Medicaid limits will leave millions uninsured and force states to raise revenue or cut services, often starting with home- and community-based care. These cuts will spare no one and will lead to hospital closures, layoffs, and less access to care. Medicaid, covering nearly half of all births and supporting many with chronic and mental health needs, faces a manufactured crisis risking over 16 million people.
State Lawmakers Have the Power to Act
By defending Medicaid and advancing policies that keep people covered, that strengthen provider networks, and ensure access to care, states can protect vulnerable populations and safeguard the future of healthcare. Protecting Medicaid is about more than budgets and numbers—it's about building a future where everyone can thrive.
