Medicaid

“Reverse Medicaid cuts and expand coverage in South Carolina.”

“Reverse cuts that threaten South Carolinians’ healthcare coverage.”

“Roy Cooper would lower health care costs by making sure that doctors make decisions about your health care, not insurance companies. Roy will work to reverse the Affordable Care Act tax credit expiration and cuts to Medicaid that have driven up health care costs for everyone; and put patient care first at hospitals. He’d also cap annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs, and require Medicare to broaden negotiations with drug makers to make medicines more affordable.”

“Reverse cuts that leave people without health insurance or unable to afford the coverage they have. North Carolina saw the largest drop of any state in Affordable Care Act enrollment. Reinstate the ACA tax credits and reverse Medicaid cuts. This will help lower costs for everyone’s premiums, including people who get their health insurance through an employer.”

“Roy Cooper believes that doctors should decide your health care, not insurance companies and he’d reverse the Affordable Care Act tax credit expiration and cuts to Medicaid that leave people without the coverage they need and drive up prices for everyone. He’d also require Medicare to broaden negotiations with drug makers to make prescriptions more affordable and strengthen oversight of hospital mergers that put profits over patients. He’d crack down on pharmacy benefit managers that pocket savings instead of passing them on to patients, curb surprise billing and cap annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs. He’d prevent medical debt by requiring hospitals to auto-enroll patients in charity care and increase enforcement of upfront pricing to make health care costs more transparent.”

“Roy believes that the ACA (or Obamacare) tax credit expiration and cuts to Medicaid should be reversed to get people the coverage they need and wants to lower premiums for everyone, including those who get their health insurance through their employer.”

“I’m ready to go to Washington to work with anyone I can to take on health insurance companies that are crushing working families with hidden fees and denied claims, make health care cost less and reverse the devastating cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.”

“I will push to immediately repeal Medicaid and ACA subsidy cuts from the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill” Act.”

“More than a million Minnesotans, including people with disabilities, seniors, and children, rely on Medicaid. The providers they see, including rural hospitals, mental health clinics, and nursing homes, rely on Medicaid. Peggy will fight to restore the inhumane cuts to Minnesotans’ healthcare made by Donald Trump and Republicans.”

“America’s healthcare system is broken. Donald Trump and Republicans have made it worse by cutting Medicaid for millions of Americans, eliminating tax credits that make healthcare cheaper for 90,000 Minnesotans, and defunding critical research into diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Peggy will fight to restore this vital funding and build a better system.”

“Medicaid is the primary coverage for two of every three nursing home residents. Peggy supports reversing the cuts to Medicaid in Donald Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ to ensure we don’t jeopardize the healthcare of seniors to pay for billionaire tax cuts.”

“Reverse the cuts to Medicaid and restore the ACA subsidies that hold premiums down. Two changes are raising health care costs for Kansas families at the same time. Kansas families are being squeezed from both sides. Deep federal Medicaid cuts are projected to drain up to $3.77 billion from KanCare and cost about 13,000 Kansans their coverage over the next decade. That would fall hardest on rural hospitals, and Kansas already has more hospitals at immediate risk of closing than any other state. At the same time, the end of enhanced ACA premium tax credits has made a typical subsidized Kansan’s monthly premium jump by more than half for 2026 — the steepest increase since the marketplace began. Because Kansas never expanded Medicaid, about 28,000 working Kansans are already stuck in the coverage gap: too well-off for KanCare, too poor for marketplace help.”

“Protect and invest in rural hospitals. Kansas has more rural hospitals at immediate risk of closing than any other state — roughly two-thirds are at risk overall — largely because insurers, including Medicare Advantage, don’t pay enough to cover the cost of care. A rural hospital is often a county’s largest employer and its only nearby emergency room, and studies find that closing one raises deaths from time-sensitive emergencies like heart attacks and strokes by about 10%. The squeeze is sharpest in childbirth, where only about a third of rural Kansas hospitals still deliver babies. Reversing the Medicaid cuts would help, but Adam would go further to fix the underpayment and keep these hospitals’ doors open.”

“New Hampshire families shouldn’t have to go hungry or pay higher health care premiums so corporate special interests and billionaires can get handouts and tax breaks. While my Republican opponents double down on Trump’s policies that are making life more expensive, I’m fighting to restore funding for Medicaid and SNAP and to lower costs for Granite Staters.”

“Stop the war. Lower gas prices. Build more homes. Expand access to health care. Restore the cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act that went through last year.”

“He opposed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill that cut Medicaid to fund billions in tax breaks to the ultrawealthy and handouts to Big Pharma and Big Oil and he’s fighting to roll back these cuts and lower health care costs.”

“Protect health coverage and lower premiums: Protect and improve the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and reverse the Trump Administration’s dangerous cuts to the ACA enhanced tax credits, Medicare, and Medicaid that will kick 15 million Americans off their insurance and raise premiums for millions more.”

“Guarantee those who serve our country and their families have the food and healthcare they need by reversing cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, restoring ACA tax credits, allowing military children to remain on TRICARE until age 26, and supporting access to alternative pain medicines and non-drug therapies to combat opioid dependency.”

“Restore full funding for Medicaid for the 110,000 Iowans who are at risk of losing access to health care due to cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill that Ashley Hinson voted for.”

“Starting from his first days in office, Governor Cooper fought to expand Medicaid. He led the charge by holding roundtable events across the state and building a non-traditional coalition of advocates – conservative sheriffs, business leaders, Republican county commissioners – who knew that Medicaid expansion would benefit their communities. Ultimately, Governor Cooper succeeded in moving a Republican supermajority legislature to pass Medicaid expansion into law after many years of opposing the program.”

“Roy has fought tirelessly for Medicaid expansion that would extend coverage to half a million people, including families and veterans, without additional state tax dollars.”

“Roy has been laser-focused on lowering health care costs for North Carolinians. In 2023, he assembled a bipartisan coalition to expand Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of working North Carolinians, lowering costs for everyone. Nearly 715,000 people are now covered because of Medicaid expansion. Medicaid expansion also provided a lifeline for rural communities, bringing an influx of critical federal funding to help keep rural hospitals and emergency rooms open. Roy also created a first-in-the-nation solution to help relieve more than $6.5 billion in medical debt for over 2.5 million North Carolinians, many of whom are in debt because insurance companies refused to pay legitimate medical bills, and to prevent this debt from accruing in the future.”

“Yet Medicaid home and community-based services are chronically underfunded, leaving hundreds of thousands of eligible seniors on waiting lists while institutional care remains the default option the system is built to pay for. We must fix this.”

“Federal investment in home and community-based services (HCBS). Increase the federal Medicaid matching rate for home health and personal care services, incentivizing states to expand eligibility, reduce waiting lists, and improve caregiver wages — addressing both access and the workforce shortage that limits capacity.”

“End the institutional bias in long-term care financing. Current Medicaid rules make it easier to fund a nursing home bed than a home health aide. This platform directs CMS to revise reimbursement structures so that home and community-based care is funded on equal footing with institutional alternatives, giving seniors and their families a genuine choice.”
