Federal cuts to Medicaid: What counties should know

Medicaid is a joint federal, state and local program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals, including children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities. The program accounts for over half of all federal funding to states and is the largest source of federal funding in state budgets.

Counties play a crucial role in delivering Medicaid services by partnering with federal and state governments to manage local health systems and ensure access to care for vulnerable populations. Any reductions in Medicaid funding directly affect counties' ability to provide public health services, respond to crises and promote economic stability.
