The House Budget Committee will begin meeting
this Thursday, March 3 at 2:00 pm to consider a draft
of their congressional budget resolution. The
Senate Budget Committee is planning consideration
of their budget resolution during the week of
March 7th. Both Committees will consider the President's
proposal to cut $60 billion over 10 years from Medicaid. It
is vital that House and Senate Budget Committee members hear
now from constituents that they are opposed to all cuts or
caps in Medicaid. Attached is a letter opposing Medicaid caps
that NASW and many of its chapters sent to the President a
month ago opposing Medicaid cuts. These are still useful talking
points in contacts with Members of Congress.
Action Requested: Please scan these
membership rosters below to find Reps. and Senators from
your state. If you have a representative on these lists, send
them this attached Medicaid letter or write your own short
message opposing cuts in the program. Thank you
for responding to this appeal. Our work is making great strides
in changing minds on the Hill, but we need to swing more votes
our way to protect the program. Members may be contacted through
their websites or the Capitol Operator at: 202-224-3121
January 12, 2005
Dear President Bush,
As you finalize your budget proposal for fiscal year 2006,
the undersigned organizations representing national organizations
and state and local organizations from all 50 states and the
District of Columbia urge you not to cut Medicaid or make changes
that would alter the fundamental structure of the program.
Over 53 million Americans rely on Medicaid for their health
care including long-term services. Any cuts in this critical
program will impair the benefits these vulnerable Americans
receive, diminishing the program's ability to meet the growing
need for health coverage for low-income children, parents,
seniors, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. In addition,
cutting Medicaid would hurt health care providers and the broader
health care system.
Medicaid cuts or funding caps also would shift billions of
dollars in health care costs to state and local governments.
As states deal with the rising cost of health care and the
aging population, it is clear that reducing or capping federal
funding would move policy in precisely the wrong direction.
States need reliable and consistent federal Medicaid funding
to sustain their Medicaid programs.
We are strongly opposed to changes in the current structure
of the Medicaid program that include converting the program
into a block grant or otherwise imposing caps on federal funding.
It is essential to preserve the individual entitlement provided
under Medicaid. This program has proven highly successful in
responding in difficult economic times because of the program's
guarantee of coverage to people who are eligible as well as
its open-ended financing structure. In the most recent recession,
millions of Americans who otherwise would have been without
health insurance had coverage thanks to Medicaid.
We recognize the need to address rising health care costs
that face our nation. It is important to note, however, that
Medicaid's overall growth rate is lower than that
of private health insurance premiums. Cutting or capping the
Medicaid program, rather than addressing underlying health
care costs and the growing demand for long-term care, will
have profound consequences not just for those who rely on Medicaid
but for the overall health care system.
We ask that your FY2006 budget proposal protect both the funding
and current structure of the Medicaid program so that it may
continue to meet the vital health care needs of the most vulnerable
Americans.
