Commentary: Will Covered California Land on Life Support?
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The GOP budget cuts Medicaid by $1 trillion over 10 years and ends ACA subsidy extensions, risking coverage loss for 17 million Americans and premium hikes of up to 75%, experts say.
- Earlier this month, House Republicans passed a bill cutting Medicaid by $1 trillion over 10 years, marking the largest health care funding reduction in U.S. history.
- Driven by a push to reduce federal spending, the GOP-led Congress enacted a budget that includes $1 trillion Medicaid cuts over 10 years and significant changes to SNAP benefits.
- California officials estimate that federal Medicaid cuts will cost $28.4 billion and cause 3.4 million Californians to lose coverage over a decade.
- Following enactment, Planned Parenthood clinics are banned from federal Medi-Cal payments, affecting California clinics immediately after Trump signed the bill.
- Beginning Dec. 31, 2026, the Urban Institute estimates up to 1.4 million Californians could lose Medi-Cal coverage due to new work-reporting rules.
