Medicaid has provided vital health care to over 80 million Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and many within our AANHPI communities. In Washington State alone, nearly 2 million people rely on Apple Health (the state's Medicaid program). On July 4th, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed, cutting almost $1 trillion from Medicaid. The Bill also curtails provider taxes, meaning states have to make a difficult choice: make cuts to other services (such as education) or raise taxes, or make even deeper cuts to Medicaid. Governor Ferguson's office estimates at least 250,000 Washingtonians will lose Medicaid Coverage . Read the Health Care Authority report below for more information.
