Medicaid meal delivery programs threatened by cuts and uncertainty
Original: Cost-saving Medicaid meal deliveries threatened by cuts, policy uncertainty
Cost-saving Medicaid meal delivery programs, which bring food to vulnerable patients to help keep them out of hospitals and nursing homes, are under threat from budget cuts and policy uncertainty. Advocates warn that trimming these services could ultimately raise healthcare costs, since the meals are far cheaper than institutional care for the people who rely on them.
Why now: Budget cuts and shifting Medicaid policy are putting a popular cost-saving nutrition program at risk, prompting concern among patients and providers.
