States are building CHW infrastructure explicitly anticipating federal Medicaid funding cuts from DOGE-era policy shifts. Milbank Memorial Fund's August 2025 piece frames 'State Strategies for Engaging Community Health Workers Amid Federal Policy Shifts' as resilience planning against federal instability. This represents states hedging against the loss of federal matching funds that make SPAs financially viable—the inverse of the Medicare Advantage dynamic where federal overpayment sustains the system. For CHWs, states are building capacity assuming federal support will decline; for MA, federal arithmetic will eventually force reform regardless of state preferences.
