State officials, doctors, patients, and advocates gathered at Children’s Minnesota Hospital in St. Paul to raise awareness about the potential impact of proposed federal cuts to vital health care programs. The changes proposed in the U.S. Congress could result in $880 billion in cuts to health care programs benefiting 1.3 million Minnesotans. These cuts could have a significant impact on health care programs serving children, pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities in Minnesota. Medicaid plays a crucial role in Minnesota’s health care system, providing essential services to vulnerable populations. Without comprehensive health care coverage, many Minnesotans could lose access to lifesaving medical care. The looming expiration of enhanced premium tax credits and changes to the individual market and MinnesotaCare could also lead to higher health costs for residents, potentially causing an increase in the state’s historically low uninsured rate. State officials will be holding more roundtables across Minnesota to discuss the potential impacts of these proposed federal health care cuts.
