Joint Statement on President’s Budget

The Center for Medicare Advocacy and the Medicare Rights Center joined to release a statement this week on the Trump 2021 budget’s harmful policy and payment changes that could create barriers to care for people with Medicare. The statement also highlighted the budget’s $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and the ACA’s premium tax credits, which could cause millions of people to lose health coverage and access to care. The statement called on Congress and the administration to reject the flawed budget, and to instead pursue solutions that prioritize the health and well-being of all Americans.
