1. Opposition to Medicaid unwinding, which threatens to cause the greatest loss of Medicaid coverage in American history, disproportionately harming people of color and children. 2. Opposition to any funding cuts to Medicaid 3. Support OMBs Initial Proposals for revision of the race and ethnicity statistical standards found in Statistical Policy Directive 15 (SPD 15). OMBs proposed changes will increase the availability of disaggregated data on the health of underserved communities, promote better access to and quality of care, and facilitate the provision of culturally, clinically, and linguistically appropriate health care. 4. Support for coverage of dental care. Medicare and Medicaid Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act (S. 842), the Medicare Dental Benefit Act, and the Oral Health for Moms Act. By adding Medicare coverage of comprehensive oral health benefits, providing financial support to state Medicaid programs to expand oral health coverage for adults, and expanding Medicaid and CHIP oral health coverage for pregnant and postpartum women, these bills would help millions of people with disabilities with limited income who rely on these programs to access dental care and reduce health disparities for disabled communities of color. 5. Opposition to extending the Medicaid state plan option to obtain federal Medicaid funds for services provided to adults with substance use disorder (SUD) in Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD). This provision of the SUPPORT Act expires September 30, 2023. The IMD exclusion generally prevents states from using federal Medicaid funds to pay for services for adults between the ages of 21 and 64 who are in mental health and substance use residential facilities with more than 16 beds. Medicaid reimbursement is available for mental health and substance use services provided in the community rather than in IMDs. We support maintaining the IMD exclusion because it has provided important incentives for states to develop needed community-based services and achieve community integration
