Federal Cuts to Health Care
On Feb. 12, the House Budget Committee unveiled a budget resolution proposing a $2 trillion reduction in mandatory spending over the next decade. If enacted, these cuts would severely impact Medicaid funding and other supports, significantly threatening access to essential health care services.
The House Budget Committee circulated a detailed list of potential cuts on Jan. 17. Based on CHA’s analysis, these proposals could eliminate anywhere from $9 billion to $27.2 billion in federal funding to Colorado’s health care system over the next five years.
