Congress Finally Released its Plan to Slash Medicaid and Food Aid. What's Next for New York?

This report discusses recent legislative proposals in Congress that aim to reduce funding for Medicaid and various food assistance programs. The article examines the potential impact of these policy shifts on state-level safety nets and the ongoing debate regarding the integration of nutrition services into healthcare policy.
