How Will Medicaid Cuts Affect Your County?

The proposals to cut funding to Medicaid that are moving through Congress have the chance to severely impact tens of thousands of New Jerseyans currently relying on these crucial programs.

New Jersey will receive an estimated $3.6 billion less in annual federal Medicaid funding, including cutting about $300 million in federal funds for hospitals, at the same time hospital uncompensated care costs for uninsured individuals will soar.

The House-approved plan would force New Jersey policymakers to make an inhumane and appalling choice between taking fully state-funded healthcare away from 46,890 children by kicking them out of NJ FamilyCare coverage OR making New Jersey pay an approximate $700 million annual federal penalty that will take money out of the healthcare system.
