Proposed Federal Budget Spells Problems For Medicaid, Home-Based Care Industry, Ohio passed legislation, signed by DeWine, that cuts certain Medicaid benefits once Federal funds are decreased without further action needed. Three million Ohioans are enrolled in Medicaid, including pregnant mothers, children, seniors, and the disabled. Medicaid funds more than half the births in Ohio.
US Senate Republicans released text for a budget resolution Thursday that, if enacted, could substantially alter the home-based care industry.
The budget framework directs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, the committee with jurisdiction over Medicaid, to slash the deficit by at least $880 billion between 2025 and 2034, prompting concerns from home-based care providers. The $880 billion reduction may not be possible without cutting Medicaid spending.
