Protecting Medicaid from Cuts in Congress: Updates for Aging Advocates June 17, 2025

With the House’s vote last month to pass a budget reconciliation bill, the fight to protect Medicaid has moved to the Senate. If enacted, H.R. 1 — the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — would be devastating for the health and well-being of low-income older adults. The legislation would make the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, while undermining Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, and other programs older adults rely on to meet their basic needs.

This webinar will outline where the budget reconciliation bill stands and how the cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and other health care programs would harm older adults. Participants will learn about the latest insights on effective advocacy strategies, data, and resources that advocates can use in their own states and communities.
