- On July 04, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One, Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, cutting Medicaid by over $1 trillion and imposing work requirements with frequent eligibility checks.
- To pay for tax breaks for the wealthy, Republican lawmakers bundled Medicaid and social safety net cuts to fund tax breaks and corporate incentives, drawing dire warnings from doctors, hospitals and insurers.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimated 12 million Americans would lose coverage under the bill, projected 5 million more might lose coverage by 2034 due to new requirements, and Swope Health CEO warned that tens of thousands in Missouri and Kansas are at risk.
- In a May survey, 34.7% of clinicians said their practice would become financially unviable if reimbursements were cut, 74% predicted higher emergency-care use by uninsured patients, and Amy Ellingson, MD, warned ‘will seriously hurt our hospital and clinic’s viability’.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects 11.8 million people could lose coverage over the next decade, while a Center for American Progress study warns 75,000 Kansans and 210,000 Missourians could lose insurance, underscoring the need for timely solutions.
