State Government CIOs: How to Prepare for Potential Medicaid Funding Reductions

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, officially H.R. 1, presents significant shifts for state government CIOs and technology leaders due to its proposed changes to tax policy, immigration and healthcare, particularly Medicaid. As the largest single health insurer in the United States, Medicaid serves over 70 million Americans, providing essential benefits for low-income populations, seniors, people with disabilities and individuals requiring long-term care. Proposed federal funding cuts could reduce Medicaid spending by $723 billion over the next decade, leading to operational changes, evolving regulatory requirements and financial constraints. To tackle these challenges, join this complimentary Gartner webinar as Gartner experts examine the implications of potential Medicaid funding cuts on technology leaders. The session will outline both challenges and opportunities for innovation and efficiency improvements, helping state government CIOs to navigate this complex landscape.
