Bill > HRes620

This resolution celebrates the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, a federal and state health insurance program originally established on July 30, 1965, through the Social Security Amendments. The resolution acknowledges Medicaid's initial purpose of providing medical services to children, single mothers, disabled individuals, and people living below the federal poverty line. It highlights that Medicaid is a partnership between state and federal governments and emphasizes the importance of reducing waste, fraud, and abuse in the program to ensure its long-term viability. The resolution references the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which reportedly introduced work requirements for able-bodied working-age adults above the federal poverty line and projected Medicaid spending to be $200 billion higher in 2035 compared to 2025. Ultimately, the resolution celebrates Medicaid's 60-year history and commits to protecting the program for its most vulnerable beneficiaries.
