March of Dimes Statement on the House Budget Resolution and Proposed Medicaid Cuts

The House of Representatives passed a budget resolution to cut approximately $880 billion from Medicaid over the next decade, which is expected to impact nearly 80 million people, including pregnant women, babies, and children.
These cuts could worsen health outcomes, increase preterm births, and result in more preventable maternal deaths, as stated by March of Dimes.
Medicaid covers 41% of all births in the United States and is vital for ensuring access to prenatal and postpartum care, helping improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
Cindy Rahman, President and CEO of March of Dimes, indicated that these cuts could endanger the health of millions and urged lawmakers to protect and strengthen Medicaid.
