Dear Congress, Medicaid is the basis of child health care. Cutting it means taking care from kids. Read my Times Publishing Co. Op/Ed “Medicaid cuts will make Florida’s children sicker” RT AAP Neonatal American Academy of Pediatrics NYS AAP - Chapter 2 tampabay.com/opinion/2025/0…


Don't be fooled. A "Per-Capita Cap" on Medicaid spending means the federal gov't makes states do the dirty work of having to cut benefits, curtail eligiblity & reduce payments. Per The Hill tinyurl.com/mun7ph9p RT AAP Neonatal Dr. Elizabeth Murray Lisa Handwerker Vanessa Salcedo, MD Dr. Eve Meltzer Krief

You voted for this, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.. You voted to put an anti-vaxxer in charge of HHS. You let the genie out of the bottle. Please do your job and help to put it back in. That means no more anti-vaxxers in charge. Stand up and make the right decisions. Thank you.

Your joint NYS AAP - Chapter 2 NYS AAP - Chapter 3 NYSAAPCH1 NYS Policy & Advocacy Committee doing a "Deep Dive" into our recently passed state budget. Wins: Universal School Meals & Enhanced Tax Credit for Children. Losses: No primary care enhanced payment, no chronic care payments, no EI funding.


Dear Tom Suozzi Rep. Andrew Garbarino Congressman Nick LaLota Congresswoman Laura Gillen -protect Medicaid. These cuts are not "reforms," they are an attack on the program's goal to insure vulnerable New Yorkers. Reminder: 49% of NY Kids are on Medicaid & 44% of children w/special health needs. RT Dr. Eve Meltzer Krief

Happy to represent NYS AAP - Chapter 2 NYS AAP - Chapter 3 NYSAAPCH1 in Albany last week promoting a bill to increase enforcement of NY’s existing law prohibiting sale of flavored vape products. Protecting kids from nicotine must be a priority. RT Dr. Eve Meltzer Krief







Too little. And far, far too late. You own this, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.. Don't just say what should happen now. DO SOMETHING to actually stop this new Zombie ACIP from destroying vaccine policy and access for the entire nation.





As the US hits a catastrophic milestone with the highest number of measles cases since the disease was declared eradicated, it is a step in the right direction to see the AAP and others stand up to say that this is not OK and we won't pretend that it is. publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/3…

How are NYS pediatricians responding to federal Medicaid cuts? By doubling down on the need to protect children's health coverage! Great mtg last night of joint NYS AAP - Chapter 2 NYS AAP - Chapter 3 NYSAAPCH1 state advocacy committee mtg. Already setting up the 2026 agenda. RT Michael Cabana, MD Dr. Eve Meltzer Krief


“I represent 67,000 pediatricians across the country. … Let's be perfectly clear, this bill will cause devastating impacts to children. And while children only represent 22% of our population, they represent 100% of the future”. - American Academy of Pediatrics President Dr. Susan Kressly
