Trump Voters Wanted Relief From Medical Bills. For Millions, the Bills Are About To Get Bigger.
UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – The tax cuts will leave 10 million more uninsured by 2034 and increase premiums and out-of-pocket costs, while reducing protections against medical debt, experts say.
- President Trump signed a tax cut bill on July 4 that includes Medicaid cuts and a rollback of protections against medical debt nationwide.
- Since Trump took office in January, the administration has reduced health care protections by not defending new debt regulations and allowing Medicaid retrenchment.
- The administration secured court permission this month to undo rules removing medical debt from credit reports, while the tax law imposes up to $35 copays for some Medicaid patients.
- About 100 million adults carry medical debt, and experts warn these changes will worsen credit damage, making loans harder and threatening treatment for seriously ill Americans.
- The policy shifts could raise health costs and push millions into debt, with the Congressional Budget Office predicting 10 million more uninsured by 2034 due to the tax cuts.
