Senate Republicans Pass Massive Medicaid Cuts

UNITED STATES, JUL 1 – The Senate approved $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years, risking coverage for nearly 12 million Americans, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.

  • On July 1, 2025, Senate Republicans approved President Trump's major legislation involving significant tax reductions and budget trimming after Vice President JD Vance cast the deciding vote in a 50-50 Senate split in Washington, D.C.
  • The bill, known as 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' includes permanent 2017 tax cuts, $4.5 trillion in tax reductions, $1.2 trillion in Medicaid and other spending cuts, and increased funding for border security.
  • The legislation would cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid nationally, potentially strip coverage from 11.8 million Americans, and increase the federal deficit by about $3.3 trillion over the next decade.
  • Colorado officials warned the bill could cost the state $900 million to $2.5 billion annually, with up to 23,000 rural residents losing Medicaid and six rural hospitals facing closure, while tax cuts mostly benefit wealthy taxpayers.
  • Democratic leaders and advocates condemned the bill as harmful to working families and health care access, with House Republicans preparing for a final vote as the legislation returned to the House.
