To Cut Medicaid, the GOP’s Following a Path Often Used to Expand Health Care
UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – The bill aims to reduce federal Medicaid spending by $1 trillion over 10 years, risking coverage loss for 17 million Americans and threatening rural hospitals, experts say.
- On July 1, 2025, the Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump's budget reconciliation bill called 'One Big Beautiful' that proposes over $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts nationwide.
- This bill follows the budget reconciliation process historically used to enact major health legislation since the 1980s, including the ACA and programs like CHIP created in 1997.
- Key provisions include boosting Medicaid work requirements, reducing provider taxes important to states like Virginia, and stricter limits compared to the House version passed in May.
- Critics warn the cuts will push many off Medicaid, worsen health outcomes, increase emergency visits, and harm vulnerable populations, with John Connelly stating costs will rise for all.
- Virginia Democrats held a panel town hall condemning the bill, and families relying on Medicaid, such as Alicia Schaupp's, say losing coverage would be devastating for essential medical treatments.
