During the recent North Country ACA Repeal Roundtable at Clinton Community College, Megan Baldwin, assistant secretary for health at the State Executive Chamber, talks about the potential impact that passage of the House of Representative’s American Health Care Act or the Senate’s proposed Better Care Reconciliation Act would have in the state. The cuts would especially hurt those who rely on Medicaid services, Baldwin said, and in the North Country, one in three of them is a child. Also, according to statistics presented at the session, 74 percent of nursing home residents; 24 percent of emergency room/clinic visits and outpatient surgeries; and 40 percent of baby deliveries are currently covered by Medicaid.
