In this webinar, Justice in Aging experts explain how proposed Medicaid cuts would harm older adults and share key messaging strategies to protect this vital program.
This guide equips advocates with strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of Medicaid estate recovery by examining state practices and identifying opportunities for advocacy. It explores key areas such as narrowing the scope of recovery, enhancing hardship waivers and deferral protections, implementing cost-effectiveness thresholds, and improving public transparency and accessibility through enhanced reporting, training, and notice requirements.
The House of Representatives passed a budget resolution mandating trillions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other programs that help older adults meet their basic needs, all to pay for tax cuts for wealthy Americans and corporations. The vote places Medicaid directly in the crosshairs for unprecedented cuts of at least $880 billion.
