The GOP's big bill would bring changes to Medicaid for millions
UNITED STATES, JUN 20 – The bill proposes work requirements and eligibility limits that could cut Medicaid enrollment by 10.9 million and reduce federal funding to states, raising healthcare costs nationwide.
- Last month, House Republicans moved forward with legislation that would reduce Medicaid funding by approximately $800 billion and cut SNAP benefits by $300 billion.
- This bill aims to reduce federal spending and offset massive tax cuts, despite widespread public support for maintaining or increasing funding for Medicaid and food assistance.
- Polling conducted from June 5-9 reveals that roughly half of U.S. adults believe Medicaid does not receive enough funding, while 45% feel that programs providing food and nutrition support, such as SNAP or food stamps, are similarly underfunded.
- The Congressional Budget Office reports these cuts could cause 16 million Americans to lose health care and lead to higher costs and fewer benefits for families.
- These proposed reductions raise concerns among advocates and lawmakers who emphasize health care's importance for vulnerable groups, including families, seniors, and veterans reliant on Medicaid.
