Build Back Better Framework is Historic Investment
|
|
The framework for the Build Back Better Act sets the stage for historic investments in children, women, families, people with low incomes, and communities of color. The framework is a transformational “once-in-a generation” opportunity to invest boldly in an economic recovery that will secure a more equitable future for all.

Build Back Better Package Must Include Medicaid Coverage Gap Solution
|
| As many as 15 million people could lose Medicaid coverage in 2022 after the Public Health Emergency declared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic ends. Congress has the opportunity now through the Build Back Better package to decrease the number of people who will become uninsured in 2022. |
