Medicaid Can Keep Idaho’s Health Workforce—and Families—Strong

Every healthy baby needs a healthy mom, and healthy moms need a strong healthcare workforce. Medicaid is health insurance available to low-income children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and working adults in Idaho. The program is a critical lifeline for pregnant women and babies, ensuring access to vital care they might otherwise go without. It is also a key tool for retaining healthcare providers in rural areas. Medicaid supports healthier pregnancies, a stronger provider network, and a strong start for Idaho’s children.

Idaho moms and babies struggle to access healthcare across the state. We should do all we can to support services like Medicaid, which help Idahoans start and grow their families. People in Idaho want real healthcare solutions rather than cuts to the essential services they rely on.
