Back to EpisodesKansas City's Medicaid Crisis: Looming Public Health Emergency
Description
Leaders in Kansas City warn of an impending public health crisis as new federal work requirements and eligibility checks threaten to strip one hundred fifty thousand Missourians of their Medicaid coverage. These changes, part of a federal bill aiming to cut Medicaid spending, could lead to up to ten million people losing insurance nationwide by 2034. Health leaders and city officials are calling for a central hub to help people navigate paperwork and meet requirements, fearing a surge in emergency room visits and higher costs across the economy. Theyre pushing for education and hands-on help to keep folks covered and avoid long-term hits to emergency rooms, wallets, and lives.
