As Republicans on Wednesday put forth a draft House budget resolution that includes reductions of at least $880 billion over 10 years to Medicaid, healthcare providers and advocates cried foul.  “This budget resolution is a five-alarm fire alert for our healthcare,” Families USA said in a statement. ... Katie Smith Sloan, the CEO and president of LeadingAge, issued in a statement earlier in the day about the need to protect services for older adults in maneuvering over budget reconciliation. She warned about the effects of trimming the federal government’s Medicaid share.
