FAH President and CEO Chip Kahn released the following statement on Congress’s budget reconciliation process:

“As the starter’s gun goes off and Congress budget work leaves the blocks, policy to preserve health coverage must go the distance. Americans expect and deserve the health security Medicare, Medicaid, and marketplace coverage ensure. We must not forget the millions depending on Medicaid for care, including half of our nation’s kids, over 800,000 seniors in nursing homes, and countless hardworking families.”
