Democratic Staff Report
The Republican Bill to Repeal the Affordable Care Act and Slash Medicaid Will Hurt Children with Severe Disabilities and Special Health Care Needs
The Democratic staff of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prepared state-specific reports examining the devastating effects that Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and slash Medicaid funding would have on children with severe disabilities and special health care needs who rely on these programs to survive.
The reports find that Republican efforts to fundamentally restructure the Medicaid program would have particularly harmful and lasting effects on children with severe disabilities and other special health care needs, despite the fact that these children have done absolutely nothing to warrant such treatment.
