Senate GOP Prepares to Unveil SNAP Piece of Trump Agenda Bill as some Expect Changes
- In 2025, House Republicans approved the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' which includes proposals to reduce Medicaid funding by $600 billion and cut SNAP benefits by $300 billion over the coming ten years.
- The legislation aims to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, prompting opposition from Democrats and advocacy groups concerned about drastic reductions in social services.
- The bill threatens Medicaid coverage for millions, including 1.4 million TennCare recipients and 700,000 SNAP beneficiaries in Tennessee, while stricter work requirements may disqualify thousands nationwide.
- State Representative Barbara Hernandez condemned the cuts as causing 'preventable deaths and financial struggles' and called the funding shift to the wealthy 'shameful.'
- If enacted, the bill could force states like Minnesota to increase spending by up to $1 billion annually or reduce health coverage amid increased defense and homeland security funding.
