Resolution urges the President and Congress to fully fund Medicaid and oppose cuts to the program, which serves 1.2 million Minnesotans (one in five residents)

Medicaid covers 41% of Minnesota children, 3 in 10 births statewide, 8 in 10 Black births, and 9 in 10 American Indian births

Program is the primary payment source for long-term care services including nursing homes and supports people with disabilities to live independently

Resolution warns that federal funding cuts would strain the state budget with no alternative funding sources and harm rural Minnesota economies where healthcare is a major employer

Secretary of State directed to transmit copies of the resolution to the President, Congressional leadership, and Minnesota's federal delegation
