Republicans advance bill with steep cuts to Medicaid as part of Trump agenda
- House Republicans advanced a bill in 2025 proposing steep Medicaid cuts alongside $3.7 trillion in tax cuts, mainly benefiting wealthy Americans.
- The bill aims to offset tax cuts by reducing federal Medicaid funding and shifting cost burdens to states already facing budget shortfalls.

- Experts warn the cuts could force states like Virginia and Nevada to raise taxes or reduce services, with Nevada possibly losing $590 million in federal funds and 13 percent of enrollees losing coverage.
- Advocates emphasize these Medicaid cuts will worsen health care access for low-income families and disabled people, with serious consequences including avoidable deaths and increased uninsured rates.
