I’m writing to urge you to oppose attempts to reduce Medicaid funding and coverage through approaches like imposition of work requirements, conversion of federal Medicaid funding to block grants, or reduction of federal contributions to Medicaid expansion costs. Medicaid provides essential and highly-cost effective health care access to millions of Americans, especially children and disabled Americans. Using Medicaid dollars to finance tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans will not only harm low-income Americans but also cause disproportionate harm to lower-income states and rural hospitals who rely on Medicaid coverage to keep their doors open.
