Medicaid, Food Aid Recipients Worry About Safety Net Cuts in Bill Sent to Trump

COLE COUNTY, MISSOURI, JUL 3 – The new law cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP, adding work requirements that could leave 11.8 million more people uninsured by 2034, experts say.

  • On July 3, 2025, Congress passed a budget bill that cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade and affects safety net programs nationwide.
  • The legislation followed President Trump's proposed budget and introduces work requirements for Medicaid, restricts provider taxes, and increases immigration enforcement.
  • States must impose Medicaid work rules by December 2026, but they may request reprieves until 2028; these changes will limit federal funding to some providers including abortion clinics.
  • A Kaiser Family Foundation analysis projects 11.8 million people could lose Medicaid coverage, while individuals like Rochester’s Sharon and Jeremy Heyer fear losing home care services supported by supplemental Medicaid.
  • These cuts will likely force states to reduce benefits or eligibility, worsen care worker shortages, and increase burdens on families, especially affecting older adults and people with disabilities.
