Florida health advocates are raising concerns over a federal budget proposal that could significantly cut Medicaid funding as part of tax renewal plans. While Republicans claim there will be no direct cuts to those relying on Medicaid, advocates warn that slashing federal funds could lead to problematic state-level repercussions, including increased taxes or limiting enrollments. Key voices, like Alison Yager from the Florida Health Justice Project, assert that these cuts will not enhance healthcare quality and may hinder essential coverage for vulnerable populations in the state.
"Federal cuts to Medicaid will do nothing, let's be clear, will do nothing to lower healthcare costs or improve quality and access to care for our residents," Alison Yager, executive director of Florida Health Justice Project.
"We're not gonna touch it," Trump said. "Now we are gonna look for fraud ... like people who shouldn't be on it."
