State plans are usually Federally-funded. In many states, famously Kentucky, their local non-Obamacare program actually is Obamacare medicaid under-the-hood, just named differently for marketing and political reasons. A quick Googling showed that OHP Bridge (formerly Oregon Basic Health Program / OBHP) is almost entirely Federally-funded and thus at risk.

Each state has a plan they call something different (for example New Mexico calls is "Centennial", Washington calls it "Apple care")but it is ultimately Medicaid. He also has said he wants to dismantle the ACA which extended the poverty limit and created marketplace Healthcare options which was made to cover those who did not qualify for Medicaid but could also not afford to pay out of pocket for full price care. It will be a shit show if he messes with this stuff people don't even realize how much this helps our population especially with rising costs of living. So you are correct, I think everyone is at risk, sadly!
