Happy birthday, Medicaid! As of February 2021, Idaho has enrolled over 384,000 Idahoans in Medicaid/CHIP, providing necessary access to affordable health coverage! #HBDMedicaid

Great news! "It was the third time in nine years the court has been offered the opportunity to effectively end the health law — and the third time it has refused." https://t.co/Xmd1I46cU8

Great news! Supreme Court finally issues decision on #ACA in California vs. Texas. Upholds #ACA, finding plaintiffs lack standing. https://t.co/V3XgcrRA4y

With some lawmakers proposing cuts to Medicaid, this budget brief is key to understanding just how this critical program, which provides access to health care for thousands of Idahoans, fits in the 2021/2022 budget: https://t.co/0hNK3pwLxW

The current #COVIDRelief plan leaves Idaho kids and families behind. We need federal funding that responds to the health and economic crises, improves access to care and helps state govts. #FundMedicaid

[Close the Gap Idaho @CloseTheGapID]

The new #COVIDRelief plan fails to include the increased #Medicaid FMAP that Idaho needs now. With cases on the rise in ID, we cannot wait until our state budget is further in the hole and more people are unemployed, uninsured and in need of care. #Congress #FundMedicaid

[Close the Gap Idaho @CloseTheGapID]

Struggling families need supports like food, housing, unemployment and health care, including #Medicaid, to survive during the #COVID19 crisis. Kids & families need Congress to fund all the services they need.

[Close the Gap Idaho @CloseTheGapID]

The latest #COVIDRelief plan falls far short of what’s needed to support Idaho families. We need Congress to #FundMedicaid now.

[Close the Gap Idaho @CloseTheGapID]

#COVID19 cases are spiking in Idaho and the #COVIDRelief plan is totally inadequate to help struggling families. We need increased #Medicaid funding so that kids & families can access care now and throughout the health and economic crisis. #FundMedicaid

[Close the Gap Idaho @CloseTheGapID]

As Idaho navigates the #covid19 crisis, we need Congress to provide further, substantial support for state #Medicaid programs. Call @MikeCrapo and @SenatorRisch and urge them to provide federal funding for Medicaid to keep Idahoans healthy and safe.

Idaho needs Congress to act & provide additional financial support to ensure that #Medicaid can keep supporting our kids & families during the #covid19 crisis. Call @MikeCrapo and @SenatorRisch and urge them to provide federal funding for Medicaid to keep Idahoans healthy.

We need substantially increased federal funding for #Medicaid as part of the next legislation to help Idaho face #covid19. Call @MikeCrapo and @SenatorRisch and urge them to provide federal funding for Medicaid to keep Idahoans healthy and safe.
