Bill > HR0115

This resolution urges the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid, a critical health care program that provides coverage for over 71 million Americans, including nearly 2.2 million Michigan residents. The resolution highlights Medicaid's importance as a healthcare safety net, especially for underserved and rural communities, noting that it covers more than one million children, 300,000 individuals with disabilities, and 168,000 seniors in Michigan. The resolution specifically opposes proposed funding cuts and structural changes by the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans, which it argues would inefficiently shift costs to states, healthcare providers, and vulnerable individuals. By calling for full and consistent federal funding, the resolution aims to ensure continued access to essential healthcare services during emergencies, economic downturns, and periods of increased living costs. The resolution requests that copies be sent to the President, Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, and Michigan's congressional delegation to communicate its stance on Medicaid funding.
