"As in the past, Rep. Ryan’s budget dramatically slashes the social safety net, including critical programs that support seniors and working families. Similar to previous years, Rep. Ryan repeals the Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act and proposes block grants for Medicaid, slashing about $1.5 trillion over 10 years from a critical program that supports low-income families and seniors. He is undermining a cornerstone of our health care system, one that covered more than 67 million peoplein 2012, including 32 million children, 6 million seniors, and 11 million people with disabilities. Such dramatic cuts from Medicaid would also affect states’ ability to provide long-term care to seniors because Medicaid is seniors’ primary payer of long-term care."
