The Senate Resolution urges the President of the United States and Congress to fully fund Medicaid, emphasizing the program's critical role in providing healthcare access to over a million Americans, including nearly 2.2 million residents of Michigan. Medicaid is particularly vital for children, individuals with disabilities, and seniors, and it serves as a crucial component of the healthcare safety net, especially in underserved and rural communities. The resolution highlights that Michigan's Medicaid program relies on approximately 70% of its funding from the federal government, which is essential for maintaining access to necessary health services.

The resolution expresses concern over proposed funding cuts and structural changes to Medicaid by President Trump and Congressional Republicans, which could lead to increased costs for states, healthcare providers, and vulnerable individuals. It calls for the rejection of any proposals that would undermine access to care, particularly during emergencies or economic downturns. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key federal leaders, including the President and members of the Michigan congressional delegation, to advocate for the protection and full funding of Medicaid.
