About this event
On July 4, 2025, Congress passed the federal reconciliation bill (H.R. 1)
which cut nearly $1 trillion in federal health care spending. These cuts
include $800 billion from Medicaid, and $200 billion from the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace.
In Florida alone, there are 3.5 million medicaid enrollees. Of those,
people age 65+ and the disabled represent 70%. Here in Sarasota County,
hospitalized patients who rely on Medicaid for their primary insurance make
up 45% of maternity/labor and delivery patients, 30% of mental health/psychiatric
patients, and more than 50% of neonatal intensive care unit patients.
The cuts to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are expected to significantly impact
Sarasota and the rest of Florida by making health insurance unaffordable for millions,
leading to higher numbers of uninsured individuals, increasing
strain on hospitals and causing worse health outcomes.
This presentation will shine a light on the local impact of the federal healthcare
cuts in terms of access and affordability.
