Minnesota Leaders Warn of Severe Impact From 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Cuts
- Minnesota officials and healthcare leaders warn on June 12 that the Senate is considering the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' which would cut Medicaid funding significantly.
- These proposed federal cuts stem from Congress's plan to reduce spending, with the House-passed bill already imposing work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks.
- Minnesota could lose $500 million to $1.6 billion annually, potentially causing loss of coverage for 152,000 to 253,000 residents and forcing difficult state decisions on reimbursement and eligibility.

- If enacted, these changes could disrupt Minnesota’s healthcare system by harming vulnerable populations, increasing uninsured rates, and overwhelming providers and emergency rooms statewide.
