The resolution calls on Alaska's congressional delegation to oppose proposed cuts to federal Medicaid spending, which could amount to nearly $880 billion over the next decade. It emphasizes the critical role Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program play in providing health care and long-term care coverage for over 250,000 Alaskans, including children, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income adults. The resolution highlights the importance of these programs, particularly in rural and remote areas where access to healthcare is already limited due to provider shortages and high travel costs.

The resolution further underscores that Medicaid is essential for maintaining the health and well-being of vulnerable populations, including nearly 100,000 children and many seniors who rely on it for long-term services and supports. It notes that Medicaid funding not only supports individual health but also drives growth in the state's healthcare sector and contributes to economic stability by providing affordable health coverage for small businesses. By opposing cuts to Medicaid, the resolution aims to protect the state's healthcare system, its communities, and the overall economy.
