CBO says Trump's tax bill will add $2.4T to deficit, leave 11 million uninsured over a decade
- The Congressional Budget Office announced on Wednesday that the budget reconciliation bill approved by the House is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years and lead to nearly 11 million people losing their health insurance.
- The bill includes sweeping Medicaid cuts, work requirements starting December 31, 2026, and ends expanded subsidies for insurance exchanges, all contributing to coverage losses and deficit changes.
- Providers could face revenue losses exceeding $770 billion, while hospitals anticipate increased uncompensated care that could threaten staffing and service availability, especially in rural and safety-net facilities.
- Senator Ron Johnson called the bill 'grotesque' and refused to support it, while Senator Rand Paul condemned adding $5 trillion in debt, reflecting significant Republican dissent despite Republican leadership optimism.
- If enacted, the bill may deepen inequality by cutting benefits for low-income Americans and undocumented immigrants, increase uninsured rates, and impose financial strain on healthcare providers, complicating its Senate passage prospects.
