A Message from President Tiara Green on Recent Medicaid Policy Cuts

Midlothian, Va. (July 3, 2025) – In light of the passage of the current administration’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,” Accessia Health President Tiara Green has released the following statement:

“As a charitable patient assistance organization, we are deeply concerned about the passage of the so-called ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’. The work reporting requirements for Medicaid and funding cuts will drive significant coverage losses. These changes disproportionately impact Americans with lower health literacy, poor access to technology and the internet, and complex life situations like chronic conditions that will make it too difficult to meet reporting requirements. 

When coverage is lost, patients often turn to nonprofits like ours. That means more time spent on forms and fewer resources for direct care.

These changes will lead to millions more Americans becoming uninsured or underinsured, reducing access to primary care and preventive services. This will result in more avoidable medical crises, costly emergency room visits, and financial strain on hospitals—especially in rural and disadvantaged communities. 

In a time of growing health inequities, these policies risk making essential coverage harder to access and more confusing to navigate, even for those who remain eligible.”
