“However, the Medicaid cuts the administration has proposed will decimate the care of these very groups. Proposed cuts include the elimination of waiver programs like HCBS, work requirements, per-capita funding caps, a roll-back of Medicaid expansion, and funding Medicaid through block grants. (Block grants are fixed amounts of money that do not increase even if costs to run programs like Medicaid outpace available funding.) All of these proposals would significantly limit the scope of Medicaid, reduce funding provided to states, and remove people from the program. Work requirements, in particular, would take a devastating toll on disabled people like me who rely on long-term care.”
