To Cut Medicaid, the GOP’s Following a Path Often Used to Expand Health Care

  • On July 2, 2025, Congress passed President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful' budget reconciliation bill, making sweeping changes to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act plans.
  • The bill proposes cutting over $1 trillion from Medicaid and related safety net programs to finance a $4 trillion indefinite extension of Trump's 2017 tax cuts.
  • Medicaid cuts include boosting work requirements and reducing provider taxes, which Virginia officials say would jeopardize coverage and hospital stability.
  • John Connelly stated that these cuts cause worsened health outcomes and rising costs, while Alicia Schaupp said losing Medicaid assistance would be devastating for her daughter's treatment.
  • The bill's passage continues a long history of major health laws using budget reconciliation, but it raises concern among Democrats and some Republicans over impacts on vulnerable populations.
