The Colorado Sun - June 19
Stephanie Gold, MD; Kyle Leggott, MD; and Lauren S. Hughes, MD, MPH, of the University of Colorado's Department of Family Medicine, and Dr. Apoorva Ram of Internal Medicine recently published an opinion article in the Colorado Sun regarding the country's inherent need for Medicaid funding.
From the Article:
"Congress plans to slash Medicaid, which could cost Colorado $1 billion. They should be doing the opposite. If they move forward with cuts, Colorado’s lawmakers will likely need a special session to try to save this vital program.
As primary care physicians and health policy researchers, we see the benefits of Medicaid coverage for our patients every day. We also see where proposed changes and cuts will create barriers for our patients to access the affordable care that keeps them healthy and able to work."
