Of major concern is how this will affect the disabled individuals in our community that rely on their benefits to live. According to KRR data Medicaid Enrollment is Widespread: Every congressional district in the U.S. has at least 53,000 Medicaid enrollees, with some districts having as many as 510,000. Each district includes at least 3,500 enrollees aged 65+, 2,000 enrollees with disabilities, 7,400 child enrollees, and 5,300 other adult enrollees. Medicaid is described as the primary program for comprehensive health and long-term care for low-income Americans, accounting for nearly $1 out of every $5 spent on health care in the U.S.
Potential Impact of Federal Cuts: Proposals to cut federal Medicaid spending by up to $880 billion over a decade could force states to make difficult choices—such as reducing coverage, cutting services, or lowering provider payments—to offset the loss of federal funds.
