US EditionCBO: GOP Medicaid plan would make 7.6 million people uninsured
- The House Energy and Commerce Committee is advancing a GOP Medicaid plan in May 2025 that would reduce coverage and spending nationwide.
- Republican lawmakers seek to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion to help finance $4.5 trillion in tax breaks favored by President Trump.
- The bill mandates frequent eligibility checks, restricts coverage for undocumented immigrants, bans funding for some procedures, and targets able-bodied adults without dependents.
- CBO estimates show 7.6 million would become uninsured and 10.3 million would lose some coverage by 2034, with projected savings of $625 billion over 10 years.
- This legislation could increase medical debt, burden hospitals, especially in states like Kentucky and California, and shrink Medicaid’s role as a safety net.
