The U.S. Congress has passesd a budget bill that includes over $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Medicaid and CHIP provide essential health coverage for nearly 175,000 children in Utah and support 18% of all births. These programs ensure children have access to health care. When kids are covered, families thrive, communities grow, and Utah becomes stronger.
If enacted, this legislation would cause serious harm to Utah’s children by reducing access to the care they need to grow up healthy and succeed.
No matter how you slice it, the magnitude and ripple effect of such cuts will impact children’s health and well-being. Cutting hundreds of billions in federal funding for Medicaid/CHIP will:
Roll back protections that help more children stay covered, reopening the door to waiting periods, lockouts, and lifetime limits that disrupt care.
Undermine support for rural communities by threatening school-based services and reducing funding for rural hospitals and clinics that rely on Medicaid.
Jeopardize care for children with disabilities by putting critical supports and programs at risk.
Penalize Utah for choosing to welcome and integrate immigrant families by providing children with access to health coverage.
