The Academy sent a letter to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on the Budget regarding anticipated substantial cuts to the Medicaid program as a result of the House budget resolution. This resolution instructs the Energy and Commerce Committee to reduce the federal deficit by $880 billion over ten years to the programs under its jurisdiction which includes Medicaid. Drastic cuts to Medicaid would cause substantial harm to millions of people across the United States including children, families, people with disabilities, and older adults who rely on Medicaid for their health care.
