How Medicaid Cuts Will Devastate NV-04
Medicaid provides essential healthcare for 811,000 Nevadans, including children, seniors, and working families. The House GOP budget threatens to slash Medicaid funding, putting lives at risk and forcing many to go without critical care.
These cuts would have a devastating impact:
- 110,334 children could lose access to doctor visits, vaccinations, and essential treatments.
- 16,000 seniors may lose home care, nursing home coverage, and life-saving medications.
- Hospitals and clinics serving low-income patients could lose funding or even close.
- Working families who rely on Medicaid would be forced to pay out-of-pocket for care they can’t afford.
Medicaid is a Lifeline for our Community
Medicaid isn’t just a program—it’s the foundation of healthcare for thousands in our district. It covers:
- Prenatal and pediatric care to ensure children grow up healthy.
- Emergency care and hospital visits for those in need.
- Prescription medications to manage chronic illnesses.
- Home health services and nursing care for aging and disabled residents.
With Medicaid on the chopping block, Nevadans face higher healthcare costs, fewer doctors accepting Medicaid, and increased strain on hospitals and clinics that serve our most vulnerable populations.
Who Will Be Most Affected?
If the Republican budget passes, the impact on our community will be severe:
- Children and families who rely on Medicaid for doctor visits and preventive care.
- Seniors needing nursing home care or in-home health support.
- People with disabilities depend on Medicaid for life-sustaining treatments.
- Rural communities could lose healthcare providers due to funding cuts.
