330K To Lose Health Care In IL; Food Benefits Threatened For 360K Under Trump's Bill

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The One Big Beautiful Bill Act reduces federal spending by $930 billion over ten years and introduces Medicaid work requirements affecting millions, despite broad public opposition.

  • President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law on July 4, 2025, in Washington D.C., enacting major tax cuts and spending changes.
  • Months of political negotiation led to this bill, which includes a $1.1 trillion reduction in federal Medicaid spending over 10 years to fund broad tax cuts.
  • The legislation requires work or community engagement for Medicaid recipients and expands SNAP work requirements, while shifting food assistance costs to the states.
  • Experts estimate that 17 million Americans could lose healthcare, including 330,000 Illinois residents and 267,550 Louisianans, with Mayor Johnson calling it the deepest Medicaid rollback ever.
  • State agencies are preparing Medicaid waiver requests with public input ongoing, amid concerns that cuts may lead to hospital closures and threaten clean energy jobs in Louisiana.
