Federal policies impact Minnesota’s progress

Federal policy decisions in areas from health care to nutrition to the environment have a real impact on Minnesotans’ daily lives. The federal government is also an important source of funding for public services provided at the state and local levels, and federal tax decisions influence our state tax system as well. Our federal work focuses on whether federal policies support or hinder Minnesota’s progress toward building a broader prosperity for all.

Protecting Medicaid from harmful cuts

Over 70 million people across every state, rely on Medicaid for their health care coverage. But right now, Congress is debating $880 billion in cuts to this critical program. If enacted, children, older adults in long-term care, people with disabilities, and hardworking families with low incomes could lose the care they count on to stay healthy and financially secure.

To push back against these harmful cuts, we’ve created a Medicaid Defense Toolkit and calls to action to support nonprofits, organizations, and advocates in protecting Medicaid and everyone’s right to health care.
