Join St. Croix Valley Indivisible’s virtual presentation:
Advancing Affordable Healthcare for Minnesota: Next Steps.
A virtual discussion on Thursday, Feb. 27th 6:30-8:30 pm
Hear Senator John Marty describe how we can realize affordable healthcare for every Minnesotan. At this virtual event, Senator Marty will answer our questions about how such a program could be implemented and explain recently introduced legislative proposals that are first steps toward achieving that ultimate goal. This session’s legislation presents an opportunity to reduce taxpayer costs, improve care for recipients of state healthcare assistance programs, and build state agency know-how for successful implementation.
The Republican budget currently being negotiated in the US House calls for more than a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). If Senator Marty’s bills are passed, the savings realized could become a critical piece for how we protect Medicaid for Minnesota recipients.
