Bill > HF3294

This bill is a legislative resolution urging the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid and prevent potential budget cuts. The resolution highlights the critical importance of Medicaid in Minnesota, noting that the program serves 1.2 million residents (approximately one in five Minnesotans), including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. The bill emphasizes Medicaid's significant role in healthcare, covering 41 percent of children, three out of ten births (and eight out of ten Black births and nine out of ten American Indian births), and being the primary payment source for long-term care services. The resolution warns that proposed federal budget cuts could be devastating, potentially jeopardizing care for vulnerable populations, undermining innovative healthcare services, and harming rural economies. By urging full Medicaid funding, the resolution seeks to protect the health, stability, and dignity of those who rely on this essential program. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the memorial to key federal government officials, including the President, congressional leadership, and Minnesota's congressional representatives.
