BUDGET RECONCILIATION CONTINUES

The NDNRC wants to make sure that people with disabilities are aware of potential changes to their healthcare as the current administration proposes major funding cuts to federal healthcare programs. The disability community utilizes Medicaid, and the ACA (Affordable Care Act) Marketplace plans at a higher rate than those without disabilities due to their unique needs.

By updating this newsletter with resources and educational pieces on where disability health policies stand, we hope to ensure that the disability community continues to have access to accessible and affordable healthcare coverage no matter what changes occur in the foreseeable future.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) covered in a statement that the House should reject the Senate Republican bill that could increase healthcare costs, poverty, and could get rid of healthcare coverage for millions of people with disabilities. These cuts have been summarized on the American Association on Health and Disability’s BlueSky page.

The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) released a perspective piece in the New York Times on how there has never been such huge federal budget cuts to healthcare programs like Medicaid and the ACA. The author noted that this would be “the biggest rollback in federal support for health coverage ever.”

On a positive note for the ACA, KFF reported in a policy watch that the Supreme Court of the United States upheld ACA preventative services in Kennedy v. Braidwood. These preventative services, which can be found through Healthcare.gov, include cancer and mental health screenings, vaccinations, and fall prevention through physical therapy. These are all essential for people with disabilities who use ACA Marketplace plans.

Archives of our weekly updates are available on the NDNRC website.
