NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

New analysis shows the potential harms of mandatory #Medicaid work requirements on the financial stability of community health centers, major sources of care for Medicaid & uninsured patients across the country www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2025/co...

Who *actually* makes up the 8% of Medicaid enrollees who aren't working? It's low-income women in their 40s and 50s who were recently working but aren't anymore--because they're either looking for work or serving as caregivers for parents, kids, and spouses. 19thnews.org/2025/05/medi...

People are *not* as supportive of Medicaid work requirements once they learn that: 1) most people on Medicaid are already working, and 2) many would risk losing coverage due to paperwork challenges. Support drops from 62% to 32%. www.kff.org/medicaid/pol...

I'm not sure I've ever seen such a brutal looking distributional analysis from CBO. This contrasts the Medicaid and SNAP cuts for the lowest decile with the tax cuts for the top decile. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

work requirements are a solution in search of a problem. past experience in Georgia and Arkansas tells us they've just added red tape and administrative costs + kicked people off their coverage. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

The House GOP reconciliation bill blocks an important #Medicaid eligibility/enrollment rule making it easier for low-income Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in Medicare Savings Programs that help pick up premiums/copays and also lead to auto enrollment in the Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy.

Work requirements do not work. If enacted in 2026, national #Medicaid work requirements could result in: 📉 Up to 5.2M adults losing coverage 💼 449,000 jobs lost 💰 State GDPs could shrink by up to $59 billion 💸 $4.4B drop in state and local tax revenue 📍 See the projected state-by-state impact ⤵️

New @commonwealthfund.org estimates from GW researchers on economic impact of $880 billion in #Medicaid cuts. Includes single-year state-by-state effects on economic activity, job losses and state tax revenues: Also includes impact of SNAP cuts. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

📢 The evidence is clear: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. They do not increase employment but they do lead to significant coverage losses. Find a breakdown of what #Medicaid work requirements are, their impact on coverage and employment, and more, here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/medica...

The same baseless talking points about Medicaid are coming up in the Senate Finance confirmation hearing for Dr. Oz, falsely characterizing people who enrolled due to Medicaid expansion as a monolith of "able-bodied adults." This is simply not true.

“The one thing that Pathways seems to do well is waste taxpayer money on consultants and administrative costs.”

#Medicaid is a pillar of U.S. health care. Deep funding cuts don’t just affect enrollees—they disrupt entire health systems. See Sara Rosenbaum and Alison Barkoff in Health Affairs for how: www.healthaffairs.org/content/fore... #healthpolicy

Adding work requirements to #Medicaid is on the table for federal lawmakers. Let's revisit what the evidence shows... www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

Community health centers (CHCs) are still locked out of federal grant dollars, despite the pause on the funding freeze. What's the ripple effect? CHCs can't pay their employees and could be forced to close certain services--or close down entirely. www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

Medicaid policy is at a crossroads. With potential funding cuts and eligibility changes on the horizon, now is the time to understand how these policies impact millions of Americans. Find our clear, fact-based resources on the role of #Medicaid in the U.S. health system, below:

🚨 New @commonwealthfund.org state-by-state Medicaid fact sheets that highlight the program's role for: ▪️ kids and adults ▪️ state budgets ▪️ rural residents ▪️ youth with mental health needs www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

Community health centers provide essential care to 31M+ people—including uninsured people, people with low incomes, and people who live in rural areas. They're already in a precarious financial position, and this abrupt funding freeze doesn't help. www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2024/co...

"Families and non-elderly adults in rural areas rely on Medicaid for their health insurance at higher rates than those living in metro areas, underscoring that large cuts will have dire consequences for communities that are already struggling."

There are multiple reports that states are unable to request federal Medicaid funds at this time. If not resolved quickly, it could have significant ripples across the health care sector and major impacts on states financial stability. #Medicaid #healthpolicy
