A resolution urging the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid and oppose harmful cuts to this crucial and much-needed program

This is a Senate resolution (SF 3478) introduced by Minnesota legislators urging the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid and oppose federal cuts. It directly addresses federal officials, emphasizing that Medicaid covers 1.2 million Minnesotans - including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and disproportionately serves Black and American Indian communities (covering 80% of Black births and 90% of American Indian births). The resolution states that deep Medicaid cuts would jeopardize care for vulnerable populations, strain Minnesota’s budget, and undermine state health care innovations. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses the legislature’s position but does not change federal policy.
