Abstract
This Democratic staff report is part of a series that examines the effects of repealing the ACA and slashing Medicaid funding would have on North Dakota children with severe disabilities and special healthcare needs who rely on these programs to survive. The Republican House bill would slash Medicaid funding by $834 billion over ten years and leave 14 million fewer Americans with health insurance through Medicaid. 19,700 children in North Dakota have special healthcare needs. Approximately 22.2% of families in North Dakota who have children with special healthcare needs report facing financial difficulties as a result of their children's healthcare needs. 34.8% of children with special healthcare needs in North Dakota rely wholly/partially on public insurance programs such as Medicaid.
