Committee: More than 98,000 New Mexicans could lose Medicaid coverage

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The Medicaid Advisory Committee said recent federal cuts could have a negative impact on New Mexicans. They claim more than 98,000 New Mexicans could lose Medicaid coverage.

The state could also see a loss of $8.5 billion in federal provider payments. It would take 18 months and $35 million to update Medicaid, SNAP, and call center systems to match requirements in President Donald Trump’s budget bill.
