We sent this letter to Congress to show our community’s strong support for Medicaid, as it funds around half of all patients receiving care at Health Care for the Homeless programs.
Thank you to everyone who signed this letter for helping us urge Congressional leadership to protect the Medicaid expansion program.
The letter’s key points are:
- People experiencing homelessness depend on Medicaid—especially the expansion benefit.
- Safety net health care providers depend on an expanded Medicaid program.
- Medicaid drives innovative, cost-effective health system improvements and solutions to homelessness.
