Proposed funding cuts to Medicare and Medicaid raise serious concerns among nursing leaders and public health advocates, as these programs are critical for millions, particularly older adults and underserved communities. These healthcare safety nets not only support individual health but also reflect a moral commitment to equitable access for all Americans. The cutting of funds could severely restrict access to primary care and long-term services. With the U.S. population aging rapidly, the need for these programs is more pressing than ever, particularly in New York, where a significant portion of residents rely on them.
Proposed funding cuts to Medicare and Medicaid threaten the well-being of millions, especially older adults and those in underserved communities, jeopardizing access to vital health care.
Weakening Medicare and Medicaid undermines the foundational commitments to equitable health care, making the difference between dignity and falling through the cracks for many Americans.
