Why do cuts to Medicaid matter for Americans over 65? 2 experts on aging explain why lives are at stake When people over 65 lose Medicaid coverage, they stop seeing their doctors for preventive care due to high costs. This in turn leads to worse health outcomes and higher health care costs.

"While the debate about how to reduce the budget focuses largely on dollars and cents, we believe that cutting federal spending on Medicaid would harm the health and well-being of millions of Americans by reducing their access to care."

Thanks for this! Would love to be added.

“Federal Medicaid cuts could force up to three million people aged 50 or over to seek institutional care rather than being able to get the Home and Community Based Services they would otherwise receive in their homes.”
