The Year We Lost Medicaid
Book •
In 'The Year We Lost Medicaid', Sandro Galea explores policy decisions and legislative changes that threaten Medicaid’s scope and funding, analyzing how these shifts could affect coverage, access, and health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
The book situates Medicaid within broader social and economic trends, discussing the implications of federal funding cuts, work requirements, and administrative changes on low-income adults, children, older adults, and people with disabilities.
Galea draws on policy analysis, research evidence, and case studies to illustrate how retrenchment of the program could increase unmet health needs and strain safety-net providers.
He examines the political and fiscal forces driving change and considers possible responses to preserve or rebuild access to care.
The book aims to inform policymakers, health professionals, and the public about the stakes of Medicaid policy in shaping population health.
