Policy changes shouldn’t block people from health care—but that’s what the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will do.

Hear from our Executive Director, Jeremy Lapedis, on what this means for Washtenaw County. Our services will be even more critical to the health and well-being of Washtenaw County moving forward. Thanks to Concentrate for reaching out to us on this issue.

Eleven million Medicaid recipients nationwide are now in danger of losing their health insurance, and Medicare is also expected to see major budget cuts. So what does all of this mean for Washtenaw County?

"Prior state work requirements did not increase the number of people working, but did increase the number of people who are uninsured."

As the U.S. Senate debates the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, University of Michigan experts are available to discuss elements of the proposed spending plan that stand to leave a mark on health, health care and public health. https://myumi.ch/e37xZ

¿Sabías que el Medicaid para niños cubre el cuidado dental? ¡Si tu hijo(a) tiene Medicaid, ya tiene seguro dental con Delta Dental!

Delta Dental es aceptado en la mayoría de clínicas dentales y consultorios en el condado de Washtenaw.

Llama a la clínica dental donde te gustaría llevar a tu hijo(a) y pregunta si aceptan tu seguro.
Con Medicaid infantil/Delta Dental, es muy probable que sí lo acepten.

O ven a vernos. Podemos ayudarte a encontrar clínicas dentales que acepten Medicaid, tanto para niños como para adultos.

Call the dentist you'd like to take your child to and ask them if they accept your insurance. With Children's Medicaid/Delta Dental, there's a good chance they do.

Or, come see us for help finding dental clinics that accept Medicaid for both kids and adults.

🌟 Repost 🌟

Medicaid provides health care for 2.6 million people across Michigan including 1 million kids, 170,000 seniors, and 300,000 people with disabilities.

Over 60,000 community members are covered by Medicaid.

Right now, proposed cuts to Medicaid could possibly terminate access to healthcare. If this goes into effect, the cost of care will go up for every single American and, here in Michigan, up to 750,000 people could lose access care.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) wants to hear from Michiganders about how Medicaid impacts their lives. You can share your story here: https://bit.ly/mdhhsst

Medicaid helps keep healthcare costs low for everyone, whether you use it or not. The proposed cuts in the "big, beautiful bill," will benefit the ultra-wealthy and big corporations, while devastating millions of Americans.

And, the proposed changes to Medicaid and Children's Medicaid will actually make it MORE costly and complicated to administer the programs, not less.

Contact your rep today and ask them to make it make sense.
