Report: Budget cuts could remove thousands from Medicaid in Michigan

  • Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet spoke on June 20 about House Republicans' budget plan that would cut Medicaid funding, risking health care access in Michigan.
  • The proposal includes Medicaid cuts exceeding $800 billion, which Senate Republicans may expand to $1 trillion, with some GOP senators expressing concern about constituent impacts.
  • McDonald Rivet emphasized Medicaid’s role covering 27% of Michiganders, including 44% of adults under 65 who work, providing preventive care and supporting rural hospitals and seniors.
  • She expressed that Medicaid could be streamlined by reducing excessive administrative hurdles, but emphasized that implementing the proposed federal cuts would be financially unfeasible.
  • If implemented, the budget cuts could displace elderly residents from care facilities, lead to the shutdown of hospitals in rural areas, remove health coverage from 30,000 individuals, transfer financial burdens to local authorities, and increase medical expenses across the state.
