With Alaska standing to lose $194 million annually in federal Medicaid funding and up to 33,000 Alaskans stripped of coverage, these cuts could force some rural communities to have to close clinics that serve as lifelines for entire regions. (Continued ⬇️)

Native Movement @nativemvmnt.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
These cuts would be devastating for rural and Indigenous Alaskan communities, where healthcare access is already limited and distances to medical care can be hundreds of miles. (Continued) ⬇️

Right now, the Senate is moving forward on a massive budget bill, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” that proposes to cut funding to critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP — all to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. (Cont. in replies)
