HHS proposal slashes Medicare SHIP funds 
MSN; by Mary Helen Gillespie; 4/22/25 
The Trump administration is proposing federal budget cuts to Medicare State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIP) and seven additional elder health care safety net programs that assist older Americans. ... SHIP programs have been under the umbrella of the Health and Human Services agency Administration for Community Living. The pre-decisional budget lists funds for seven other ACL programs that would be eliminated are:

  • Preventive Health Services
  • Elder Falls Prevention
  • Lifespan Respite Care
  • Long-Term Care Ombudsman
  • Chronic Disease Self-Management Education
  • Elder Rights Support Activities
Discretionary funding for Aging and Disability Resource Centers is also eliminated. The proposed HHS budget moves all ACL programs from being directly under HHS to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
