The Newsfeed: WA health plan contractor warns of Medicaid cuts
About 72 million people are on Medicaid in the United States. The government-funded health insurance program could be on the chopping block as federal government officials continue to make cuts to address what they call “fraud and wasteful spending.”
One of Washington’s health plan contractors warns that federal plans to slash funding to Medicaid would have a devastating impact on the lives of citizens in the state and elsewhere.

Community Health Plan of Washington, or CHPW, serves more than 300,000 majority-low-income clients across the state.
