Why is Medicaid important to Community Health Center patients? 👉🏽 Nearly half of CHC patients are insured by Medicaid. 👉🏽 CHCs provide cost-effective services that keep Medicaid patients healthy, prevent emergency department visits and hospitalizations, and reduce the need for costly specialty care. NACHC's resource details how CHCs provide comprehensive primary and preventive care at a lower cost than other primary care providers, saving Medicaid $1,400 per adult patient per year. #HealthCenters #ValueCHCs

Medicaid supports the vast majority of long-term nursing home residents. Medicaid provides the only medical care that working poor have available. The majority of people who are receiving benefits are working people. Medicaid supports the disabled. It supports people who are not capable of living on their own. Cutting medicaid would be a disaster for millions of people.

Thank you for sharing
