This resolution urges the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid and to oppose any harmful cuts to the program, which is essential for providing health care services to approximately 1.2 million Minnesotans, including vulnerable populations such as children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. The resolution highlights the significant role Medicaid plays in Minnesota's health care system, covering a substantial portion of births and long-term care services, and emphasizes the potential negative impact of proposed federal funding reductions on both health outcomes and the state budget.

The resolution also underscores the importance of Medicaid in supporting rural economies and ensuring access to care, particularly for the aging population in Greater Minnesota. It reflects a collective responsibility to care for those in need and warns that cuts to Medicaid would undermine this commitment, threatening the health and dignity of many residents. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to disseminate copies of the memorial to key federal officials and representatives.
