SJR 15 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Calling on the state's congressional delegation to oppose cuts to federal spending on Medicaid.

SJR 15 is a resolution calling on Alaska's congressional delegation (Senators Murkowski and Sullivan, and Representative Begich) to oppose federal Medicaid funding cuts. It urges them to protect Medicaid coverage for over 250,000 Alaskans who rely on it for health care, especially children, seniors, rural residents, and Alaska Native communities. The resolution emphasizes that Medicaid supports essential services like hospital care, nursing home support, and healthcare jobs across the state. It does not change laws but formally requests congressional action.
