@jrovner People don't get Medicaid checks in the mail. They get to take their kids to the doctor when sick or injured and not worry about going into medical debt.

High stakes in the legislative debate that's about to unfold in the House. We will be watching. #Medicaid #ACA

[Joan Alker @JoanAlker1]

More detailed analysis on our website soon but top line the House GOP bill is the biggest cut to Medicaid ever and saves $ not by addressing fraud as promised but by taking away people’s Medicaid.

CBO estimates at least 8.6 million more uninsured.

Medicaid expansion for adults is critical for children and families in many ways.

Our new brief in partnership with @CLASP_DC @NAEYC provides one example -- Medicaid plays a critical role in providing coverage to the child care workforce.

👀1st day of Florida's unwinding trial reveals that state's eligibility system (Deloitte) was incorrectly programmed and women were getting cut off 2 months postpartum and NOT getting the 12 months legislature adopted.👀 The state knew as of April 2023

The state of Medicaid work requirements—which Georgia implemented a year ago—could hinge on the outcome of the presidential race. One expert says, "If Trump wins ... there's very likely to be a full-scale assault on Medicaid."

The Project 2025 plan includes #Medicaid block grants & per capita caps but they are wildly unpopular. Per @KFF only 28% of U.S. adults support $ caps while 71% want Medicaid financing to remain as-is. 86% of beneficiaries support funding remaining as-is. https://t.co/jhHUGXmEqc

Big news out of Tampa on lawsuit involving Fla KidCare. A Trump appointed judge tossed Florida's lawsuit challenging fed guidelines over the program ... Fla challenged a provision that said children must remain eligible even if their families are unable to pay premiums. #fla_pol

New Rules Will Help Adults and Children Enroll — and Stay Enrolled in — Medicaid and CHIP https://t.co/uBlvbpv3DH

[Joan Alker @JoanAlker1]

We’re digesting the new Medicaid rules but a huge victory for adults/kids = specific wait times for primary care of 15 business days + 10 business days for outpatient mental health and substance use treatment. And secret shopper studies to verify.
