InnovationRx: Millions Would Lose Health Insurance Under Republican Budget Bill
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that 11.8 million Americans would lose health insurance if the Republican domestic policy bill passes.
- This bill, recently cleared by the Senate and pending a House vote, aims to reduce federal spending on Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare by over $1.1 trillion.
- Medicaid covers more than 71.2 million low-income and disabled Americans, but the bill imposes the largest cuts in Medicaid’s 50-year history, threatening rural hospitals and workers near retirement.
- Colorado faces a potential loss of $300 million in federal funding, with over 21,000 undocumented people at risk of losing Medicaid, while officials and advocates warn such cuts are short-sighted and insufficient to avoid budget shortfalls.
- If enacted, the legislation would significantly reduce coverage and access to care for vulnerable populations, increase the federal deficit by $3.3 trillion, and create substantial challenges for states and health facilities.
