STAND UP AGAINST MEDICAID CUTS THAT HURT THE HOMELESS |
The Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) is currently before the United States Senate. The BCRA will remove 15 million people from Medicaid, including our homeless population. Learn more by clicking here.
Access to Medicaid has been a powerful tool for local communities combating chronic homelessness. Any cuts to Medicaid, regardless of the type, or the time period over which they occur, will greatly reduce crucial resources that are used to pay for services with people with disabilities or recovering from substance abuse disorders. For people living in extreme poverty, particularly individuals and families who experience homelessness, Medicaid is essential for securing and maintaining adequate health coverage. The nearly $800 billion in cuts that are included in the final BCRA will mean that fewer people will get the healthcare they need to maintain housing stability, more people will cycle through emergency or homeless systems when they experience a health crisis, and communities across the country will be left footing the bill.
