Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.

This resolution commemorates the 60th anniversary of Medicaid , a program established on July 30, 1965, to provide essential medical and health-related services. It highlights Medicaid's original purpose of serving vulnerable populations, including children, single mothers, the disabled, and individuals living below the Federal poverty line. The resolution recognizes Medicaid as a jointly funded and administered partnership between the States and the Federal Government. It underscores Congress's responsibility to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse within the program to ensure its long-term viability. Furthermore, the resolution references the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" for its efforts in combating fraud and implementing work requirements for certain adults, while noting projected increases in Medicaid spending. Ultimately, the House resolves to continue protecting Medicaid for its most vulnerable beneficiaries.
