US Edition46 State Medical Associations Urge Senate to Reject Medicaid Cuts in H.R. 1
- Forty-Six state medical groups, collaborating through Physicians for Medicaid, have written to the U.S. Senate to oppose the proposed Medicaid cuts in H.R. 1 ahead of the anticipated vote.
- The letter came after the House passed H.R. 1 on May 22, 2025, which proposes $200 billion in cuts to provider taxes and Medicaid that could affect 7.8 million enrollees and 49 state programs.
- The organizations warned that these cuts would crowd emergency departments, force rural hospitals and community practices to close, worsen physician shortages, and reduce access for children, seniors, veterans, and families.
- The letter warned that implementing these provider tax cuts would result in major shortfalls in state budgets and urged the Senate to safeguard Medicaid, which provides essential coverage to 80 million vulnerable individuals.
- The associations warned that passing H.R. 1 would undermine state health systems and limit access to care, and they called on lawmakers to adopt approaches that increase the number of practicing physicians while maintaining strong Medicaid support.
