Republicans advance bill with steep cuts to Medicaid as part of Trump agenda

  • On Wednesday, the congressional panel responsible for overseeing Medicare and Medicaid moved forward with a bill that proposes reductions in Medicaid funding, a program providing coverage to nearly 80 million individuals.
  • The bill aims to reduce spending by imposing work or education requirements of 80 hours monthly, stricter eligibility verification, and freezing state provider taxes.
  • Health experts note most Medicaid recipients already work, but new bureaucratic hurdles could cause 1.4 million people with unverified citizenship to lose coverage.
  • The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill could cause 10.3 million to lose Medicaid and increase the uninsured by 7.6 million by 2034, while lowering the federal deficit by $625 billion.
  • Critics warn the bill could shift costs to states, strain healthcare services, and harm vulnerable populations by increasing emergency room visits and coverage gaps.
