My colleague Leo Cuello on how a recent district court decision could seriously undercut a critical tool to combat fraud in federal health care programs. Has major implications for ensuring manufacturer compliance with the #Medicaid Drug Rebate Program: ccf.georgetown.edu/2024/10/11/tru…

Thread: this important NY Times interactive story highlights the stories of people who rely on #Medicaid but the outcome of the election will determine whether Medicaid will likely face dire cuts next year.

Remembering the health care fights in Trump’s first term… Despite campaign promises in 2015 not to cut Medicaid, Trump proposed in 2017 to slash Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) by hundreds of billions of dollars. Thread 🧵👇 (1)

"Massive reform" sounds very much like the 2017 failed GOP repeal/replace plan: eliminate the ACA coverage expansions, roll back the ACA's pre-existing condition protections & market reforms, and gut the rest of #Medicaid through block grants/per capita caps.

Not leaving much confusion about what the plan is if Republicans obtain unified control of DC. Again: every GOP alternative to #ACA has had two pillars: allowing insurance co's to again segregate health from sick & big cuts in Medicaid. Cumulative result-millions more uninsured

As election day unfolds, Medicaid is top of mind for me. The difference in how #Medicaid could be impacted under either major candidate are starkly different. publichealthwatch.org/2024/11/01/med…

Yesterday House Budget Committee Chair Arrington urged using budget reconciliation to cut mandatory health care spending. Now GOP Senator Cornyn expresses support for block granting #Medicaid next year. He says "Block grants make a lot of sense." subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/1…

Congressional GOP leaders are increasingly open about targeting #Medicaid for draconian cuts in 2025 as I have been warning about. But these cuts are not inevitable. House/Senate margins are tight, Medicaid is more popular than ever & 2017 shows that such cuts can be stopped.

As Trump's advisers brainstorm cuts to Medicaid/SNAP, Republicans are reportedly worried about how it’ll look to gut social safety net programs in order to extend tax cuts that primarily benefited those making $400,000 or more a year (as they should be). talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things-s…
