States are building Community Health Worker (CHW) infrastructure specifically as a hedge against federal Medicaid funding cuts (DOGE-era threats to matching funds). Milbank Memorial Fund's August 2025 framing: 'State Strategies for Engaging Community Health Workers Amid Federal Policy Shifts' signals states are planning for CHW programs WITHOUT federal matching funds. This dynamic, where states are building resilience infrastructure anticipating federal pullback in Medicaid, presents an inverse scenario to the Medicare Advantage dynamic where reform is forced by fiscal arithmetic.
