Gov. Whitmer Releases Top Lines of Alarming Report on Federal Medicaid Cuts, Finding Cuts Would Terminate Health Care for 700,000 Michiganders

MDHHS report also shows federal cuts to Medicaid will increase costs for hospitals and small businesses, and significantly strain state budget

LANSING, Mich. -- Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer released toplines of an alarming report from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) on the impact of federal proposals to cut Medicaid. According to the new report, these proposed cuts would result in a loss of health care coverage for hundreds of thousands of Michiganders, reduce access to providers for all residents, increase financial burdens on hospitals and small businesses, and significantly strain the state’s budget.

As regular readers know, I've been a bit obsessed over the past month or so with generating pie charts which break out the total healthcare program enrollment for the entire population of all 435 U.S. Congressional Districts as well as all 50 states +DC.

As you can imagine, this has been a monumental task; not only did I have to crunch a lot of data to break out the statewide numbers into House district-level estimates, I also had to convert that data into nearly 480 easy-to-read graphics...and then I doubled my workload by going one step further and adding high-res PDF versions for folks to print out in large format for town halls, rallies and #HandsOff protests nationally.

Now that I've finally completed this project, it's time to turn back to the main reason for it in the first place: The imminent threat to healthcare coverage for literally tens of millions of Americans being posed by the budget resolution recently passed by House Republicans, which (fortunately) still has a number of points where it can potentially be stopped.
