2025-medicaidcuts

Congress recently passed a federal budget resolution that sets the stage for $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade. This unprecedented threat to Medicaid would have devastating consequences for individuals and families living with Duchenne, Becker, and other rare diseases who rely on this essential program for life-sustaining care.

Medicaid is not just a line item. It provides access to specialists, medical equipment, therapies, and long-term care that are often out of reach through private insurance. Cuts of this magnitude could lead to serious disruptions in care, threatening health outcomes and stability for thousands in our community.

Congressional committees are expected to begin markups in the coming weeks to draft legislation that would implement these cuts, making it critical for lawmakers to hear from our community now.
