Changes to Medicaid
July 8, 2025: Epilepsy Alliance America thanks the thousands of constituents in the epilepsy community who joined together to ask Congress to protect Medicaid from substantial funding cuts. Your journeys are inspiring. Your voices are essential.
Unfortunately, the cuts and changes to Medicaid in the budget will have a devastating impact on the epilepsy community. With almost 40% of people living with active epilepsy between the ages of 18 and 64 receiving coverage through Medicaid, as well as many children with epilepsy, this bill will impede the accessibility and affordability of healthcare and critical long-term services and supports.
In the coming months, Epilepsy Alliance America, along with our nationwide network of member organizations, will continue to monitor the impact of the budget signed last week and provide information and updates at both the federal and state levels, so that individuals affected can best navigate the changes as they become a reality.
