AHA details how Medicaid cuts would lead to job loss

An American Hospital Association fact sheet explains how Medicaid cuts would lead to losses in jobs, economic activity and tax revenue for each state. The AHA modeled the statewide economic impacts of each $1 billion incremental reduction in Medicaid spending and then scaled the incremental impacts to various spending reduction scenarios to estimate how cuts could be experienced at the state level. A second AHA fact sheet shows how Medicaid coverage is vital to rural patients, hospitals and communities. A video featuring Missouri Hospital Association President and CEO Jon Doolittle describes how many people, including small business owners, farmers and ranchers depend on Medicaid. KFF News discusses how Medicaid cuts to home care services could reduce assistance for teenagers who care for family members.
