WREN stands with SC organizations to protect Medicaid and SNAP from harmful cuts
WREN is proud to stand with 50+ South Carolina organizations to protect Medicaid and SNAP from harmful cuts. The latest threats to federal funding will cut a third of all Medicaid funding over 10 years, greatly reducing healthcare for children, seniors, and people with disabilities.
If South Carolina were to lose federal funding for Medicaid:
- more than 1.2 million people are at risk of losing their healthcare benefits
- it would expedite and exacerbate the closure of hospitals in rural areas, worsening the healthcare crisis
- it would strain the capacity of children’s hospitals in the state
- risk of hunger would increase, further impacting the local economy
