An Attack on the Medical Establishment
WYOMING, JUL 15 – At least 12,000 Wyoming residents are projected to lose coverage, with the state economy shrinking by $140 million over five years, according to a study by Regional Economic Models, Inc.
- Republican lawmakers passed a budget bill including steep Medicaid cuts that President Donald Trump signed in early July 2025, affecting multiple states and health providers.
- The legislation aimed to meet Trump's 2017 tax cut extension and timeline demands despite health industry warnings of coverage loss and hospital closures.
- Studies project the cuts could cause over 1,000 additional deaths, nearly 100,000 more hospitalizations annually, and substantial economic damage in states like Wyoming.

- The Medicaid reductions may affect the 2026 elections, with critics vowing to remind voters of lawmakers’ decisions that opposed constituents' interests and risked rural hospitals.
