"The question becomes, how do we change the system? How do we look at ways to really close gaps? This isn't a solely federal problem: private industry has a role to play, communities have a role to play."
-@JeanAccius, on challenges facing veterans during today's VHWF roundtable

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

Medicaid provides essential healthcare for millions of children across the country. CHC supports @ModernMedicaid’s work to protect this vital program for healthier communities everywhere.

[Dr. Jean C. Accius @JeanAccius]

Coverage isn’t care.
Access isn’t equity.
And systems don’t heal—people do.

Health is a human right—not a privilege.
Let’s build a system rooted in dignity, compassion, and people-first solutions.

The time is now.
#BuildBridgesNotBarriers #CenterThePerson #NoMoreExcuses

[Dr. Jean C. Accius @JeanAccius]

At @chcimpact, we believe health is a right—not a privilege. Everyone deserves access, opportunity & the chance to thrive—no exceptions. If we want real change, we must act with urgency and courage. The time is now—and we’re in this together. #CBCFHealthSummit #PolicyForThePeople

[Dr. Jean C. Accius @JeanAccius]

Medicaid isn’t just a line item in a budget—it’s a lifeline for millions of people, including children, older adults, people with disabilities working hard to make ends meet. Cutting Medicaid would deepen health disparities, weaken our communities, and shift costs elsewhere.

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

Thank you for hosting the Modern Medicaid Alliance’s Week of Action, including today's #MedicaidMatters Chat @ModernMedicaid - we're honored to add our voice to the growing list of organizations rejecting the proposed unprecedented cuts to Medicaid.

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

A6: Lawmakers - These cuts aren’t just numbers, they're lives. #Medicaid protects health, stability, and entire local economies. Protect it. Preserve it. Our communities are counting on you. #MedicaidMatters

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

Q6: If you could send a message to lawmakers about the unprecedented cuts facing Medicaid patients, what would you say to underscore just how much #MedicaidMatters?

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

A5: Cutting #Medicaid would shift costs to states, forcing governors to make difficult choices about reducing health care access, cutting other critical programs or raising taxes. Read more about the potential impact to states here:  https://t.co/jLMVI7asI6

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

A5: Cuts to #Medicaid would eliminate a lifeline. Nonprofit hospitals may close, advocacy orgs would divert funds from research and advancing quality of care, and families could lose care overnight. All communities would be affected—some would be devastated. #MedicaidMatters

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

Q5: What are the potential consequences if Congress votes to cut #Medicaid?

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

A4: Through our #MedicaidDiaries, we’re amplifying voices from partners and community leaders. #Medicaid is a lifeline—helping parents afford care, kids access mental health services, and Americans receive preventive care. #MedicaidMatters https://t.co/zqZeyoPP2G

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

Q4: Can you share a specific example or story of how #Medicaid has positively impacted a member of your community? #MedicaidMatters

[Federation of American Hospitals @FAHhospitals]

#Medicaid Saves Lives: Compared to uninsured individuals, Americans on Medicaid are more likely to use preventive care, have a primary care provider & receive care for chronic conditions. This helps to avoid costly emergency hospitalizations & lowers health care costs for everyone. #MedicaidMatters

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

A3: #Medicaid is a lifeline: covering nearly 40M children, 60% of nursing home residents, and helping millions living with disabilities. It bridges health equity gaps and supports economic stability. #MedicaidMatters

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

Q3: How does #Medicaid support low-income individuals, children, seniors, and people with disabilities across America?

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

A2: #Medicaid strengthens care at every level—from hospitals to community clinics. It keeps hospitals open, funds preventive services and connects millions of Americans with the care they need. #MedicaidMatters

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

Q2: How has #Medicaid benefited and strengthened health care in your community?

[CHC: Creating Healthier Communities @chcimpact]

Q1: #Medicaid is essential—not only for individuals, but for the entire health system and CHC’s community partners. Cuts would impact families, nonprofit hospitals, advocacy orgs and businesses that rely on its stability. #MedicaidMatters to everyone.
