These two articles shed light on how threatened cuts to Medicaid would impact 83 million low-income children and adults.
This article warns that states don’t have it in their budgets to make up for reductions in federal funding and will have to cut both healthcare and other essential services.
This second article focuses on the one-fifth of Medicare recipients who are also on Medicaid, which provides additional services including dental, vision, and long-term care.
The articles come from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a non-profit group that produces research, news, and analysis related to healthcare issues affecting under-served populations. (KFF is not affiliated with the Kaiser Permanente healthcare organization.)
