STAT+: Hospitals and patient groups ramp up opposition to Medicaid cuts as House mulls options
Cuts to the health insurance program are on the table as GOP lawmakers look for ways to pay for President Trump's tax cuts.
WASHINGTON — Hospitals, health centers, and patient advocates this week plan to escalate their pressure on federal lawmakers to oppose cuts to the Medicaid program.
The groups are increasing their public calls to lawmakers, standing up new collaborations, and increasing investments in advertising to discourage lawmakers from cutting hundreds of billions of dollars in the program.
More than 800 leaders of community health centers and primary care groups representing every state are asking congressional leadership to protect and stabilize the program, which covers about 80 million people, according to a letter shared first with STAT.
