Medicaid is the MVP of the healthcare system serving the needs of people across the lifespan. @GeorgetownCCF published a series of fact sheets explaining how Medicaid helps bring down costs and meets the needs of America’s families. ccf.georgetown.edu/tag/fact-sheet…

Huge kudos to our @georgetownccf team - our explainer on federal Medicaid work rule is here. New Federal Medicaid Work Reporting Requirements Rule Threatens Coverage for Vulnerable Americans: An Explainer of the Interim Final Rule ccf.georgetown.edu/2026/07/16/new… via @GeorgetownCCF

At least 1.5M fewer kids are receiving SNAP after unprecedented cuts enacted last year. Now, House Rs are starting a budget process that risks more cuts & ignores the urgent need to help low-income families who are losing SNAP & can't afford groceries. cbpp.org/research/food-…

Doctors fear Medicaid changes will force them to make high stakes subjective decisions about who’s too sick to work as patients have to scramble to cut through new red tape barriers to keep their health coverage and access to care. wapo.st/4fkJAOy

Our Medicaid enrollment tracker is updated. As of May (21 states reporting) there are 2.13 million fewer children covered by Medicaid since President Trump took office. Why is this a concern? B/c when the # of kids covered by Medicaid goes ⬇️ the # of uninsured kids goes ⬆️

My statement on the new Medicaid work reporting requirement is below. Short take: Winners = tech vendors Losers = 1. people with chronic and acute conditions like cancer and SUD; 2. states trying to implement the rule responsibly.

A new @GeorgetownCCF report shows a troubling trend for young children in Arkansas. More than 16,400 infants, toddlers, and preschoolers were uninsured in Arkansas in 2024, a 67.7% increase in just two years. Read more: bit.ly/4nZZUbt

We can all agree that no child should have to go without health care. But, in 2024, more than 40,600 infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in Ohio did not have health insurance, according to a report from @GeorgetownCCF. Health insurance helps young children get the care they need to grow, learn, and thrive—from regular checkups to early screenings and preventive care. Get the facts at: bit.ly/4nZZUbt

Ater years of progress, our nation is backsliding, leaving more infants, toddlers, and preschoolers without health insurance. This should be a loud wake-up call for federal and state policymakers. bit.ly/4vh0DqR
