The recent shutdown of Medicaid funding portals and President Trump's health secretary nominee's inadequate understanding of the program have raised alarms about health care access for over 70 million Americans. The Trump administration faces fiscal dilemmas after promising tax cuts worth $4 trillion, and proposed solutions include slashing Medicaid funding and rolling back Affordable Care Act subsidies. These cuts would critically affect vulnerable populations, including children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, as Medicaid is a key program in maintaining their health care coverage.
Medicaid alone covers more than 40 percent of births in the United States.
Republican leaders in Congress have suggested that one option they are considering to bankroll their tax breaks would be to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid.
