🚨An updated look at the bill being considered by Congress today to drastically cut #Medicaid.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

This week, Congress has a simple choice: stand for affordable access to health care and food security or stand for tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I call upon Congress to be on the right side of history and to resist cutting billions of dollars in federal funding from lifeline services.

See below for a statement from @NJDHS Commissioner @sarahmadelman on the proposed Medicaid cuts and what they will mean for New Jersey families. #MedicaidMatters #MedicaidSavesLives

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

NEW: A federal judge has blocked $350M in devastating @HHSGov cuts to NJ after we sued.

This ruling preserves access to critical mental health services, substance abuse recovery programs, and much more.

We’ll continue to fight these reckless and illegal funding cuts.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

Today I visited Westfield to meet with New Jerseyans whose lives would be significantly harmed by federal Medicaid cuts — resulting in dramatically reduced services and putting 700,000 Medicaid recipients at risk of losing their coverage.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

This week, the Trump Administration ripped away $350 million in funding for public health, mental health, and addiction services in New Jersey.

We will do everything we can to restore this funding — including taking legal action — so we can keep New Jerseyans safe and healthy.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

NEW: Overdose deaths declined statewide as the @NJDeptofHealth continues expanding Harm Reduction Centers and streamlining access to treatment.

While every death is one too many, the data show that our whole-of-government strategy is working.

.@NJDHS Cmr Adelman spoke against Medicaid funding cuts at a rally in Trenton today. 1.8M families, children & individuals w disabilities rely on Medicaid in NJ. The consequences of proposed cuts are devastating, but each voice is powerful. Thanks to those who spoke out.

[NJHumanServices @NJDHS]

.@NJDHS has modeled the impact of Medicaid proposals put forward by Congressional leadership. These potential changes to Medicaid have significant potential effect on provider pay, eligibility and benefits. Learn more: https://t.co/njfYMD8b1T

[Lilo Stainton @LiloStainton]

Federal budget cuts could reduce #NJ #Medicaid funds by nearly $10B and end coverage for 700k people, state modeling predicts.

That's just one of several challenges @GovMurphy and lawmakers face in crafting the FY26 budget.

[NJ Spotlight News @NJSpotlightNews]

Republicans in Congress are looking to slice billions from existing programs to pay for tax cuts. This could mean up to $5.2 billion less from the federal government to pay Medicaid claims next year, according to modeling obtained by NJ Spotlight News. https://t.co/ADcmCtNpKB
