Take Action in Support of Access to Care by Opposing Funding Cuts to Medicaid
As Congress explores options to offset the current administration’s budget priorities through the Congressional budget reconciliation process, one area under consideration is Medicaid funding. Medicaid provides health care coverage to one in five Americans – more than 79 million people. Approximately 42% of Medicaid beneficiaries are adults, 36% are children, 10% are disabled, and 10% are age 65 and older. Medicaid is crucial for providing care to the most vulnerable individuals who are impacted by hematologic conditions, and it is imperative that Congress work to protect this vital program.
