According to Edwin Park, a professor at Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy, there are proposed cuts to Medicaid spending of at least $625 billion in the budget bill that was reported out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on a party line vote. Preliminary estimates from the Congressional Budget Office indicate that Medicaid enrollment would fall by 10 million people, and 7.6 million people would become uninsured, Park said. The Medicaid provisions in the budget bill include a mandatory work requirement, extend- ed to the age of 64, in all states. "You would have to satisfy the work require- ment upon application, with states given the flexibility to look back multiple months and potentially a year or more to see if you could satisfy that work requirement or qualify for an exemption," Park said. There's also a proposal requiring states to conduct redetermination of Medicaid eligibil- ity every six months, rather than once a year, and a provision that would prevent states from implementing new provider taxes or increasing existing taxes. "These are taxes to raise revenues to finance the state's share of the cost of the Medicaid program," Park said. "So no new taxes and no increases in taxes would limit the ability of states to identify sufficient revenues to not only make improvements to Medicaid over time, but also sustain existing Medicaid over the long run." And there's a proposal to limit retroactive cov- erage, which is important for people who have sudden longterm care needs, Park said. Kozhimannil said the impact cuts to Medicaid will have on care for pregnant women and babies and access to facilities with labor and delivery services "cannot be overstated." "Every person is affected by the loss of birth in that community," she said. "It changes how a community sees itself." The Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank will again participate in the Summer Food Service Program, providing meals and meal kits to all children without charge on a first-come, first-served basis. The Summer 2025 schedule of meal delivery times and locations is below. Parents and guardians of children not eating meals on-site may pick up meals (seven break- fasts and lunches) to take home at each location once per week. Medicaid pays for almost half of all births in rural areas and 40% of those in urban areas...
