One in four Delawareans are on Medicaid. Cuts to this vital program will not only hurt the most vulnerable in our communities, but it will also have a ripple effect on the entire state’s healthcare system and lead to higher costs for everyone. That’s why ChristianaCare was proud to host this important forum on Monday with Congresswoman Sarah McBride, Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, Senator Chris Coons, patients and fellow health care providers in Delaware to get the word out about these potential draconian cuts.
