MHPA Coalition Urges Congress to Protect Medicaid and CHIP Funding
Medicaid Health Plans of America led a coalition letter to Senate Finance and House Energy & Commerce leadership on March 3, 2025, expressing support for Medicaid and CHIP programs. The letter was sent to committee chairs and ranking members as Congress considers budget and program changes. The coalition advocates for preserving funding and program integrity during legislative discussions. This signals organized industry pushback against potential Medicaid cuts or restructuring under consideration in the 119th Congress.
Why it mattersCoordinated advocacy from the managed care industry may influence congressional decisions on Medicaid funding levels, eligibility rules, and program structure that directly affect MCO revenues and enrollment.
