US: Top Five Threats to Child Welfare from ACA Repeal (Opinion)

US: Top Five Threats to Child Welfare from ACA Repeal (Opinion)
CLASP – December 13, 2016
Proposals by the Congress and President-elect to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA)-including the Medicaid expansion-to turn Medicaid into a block grant, and to cut resources, all can sound very abstract to social workers and policymakers coping with the day-to-day tragedies and crises of child welfare. But should Congress make good on any of these threats-which could happen as early as January 2017-the dangers are very real to abused and neglected children, their birth, adoptive, and foster parents, as well as state agencies and providers.
