I strongly oppose the budget bill due to proposed Medicaid cuts.
• No cuts to Medicaid — such cuts would cause widespread harm and prioritize tax breaks for the wealthy over vulnerable Idahoans lives.
• Proposed Medicaid cuts would cause preventable deaths and force healthcare providers to shut down, affecting millions more than the bill intends.
• Over 8 million people would lose insurance, possibly 13.5 million if ACA tax credits aren’t renewed.
• IDAHO STATS: Medicaid covers over 45,000 seniors and adults with disabilities. Nearly 25,000 children with disabilities rely on it, and 20,000 adults with disabilities use home. Can you say whether any of these people will be affected by this bill??
I would like a response who from you directly of who in Idaho will be affected by this bill before you vote. And I demand you vote NO on this bill.
