What Trump’s big bill means for Oregon Health Plan enrollees and other Oregonians’ health coverage
OREGON, JUL 9 – New work and reporting requirements could cause up to 200,000 Oregonians to lose Medicaid coverage over 10 years, alongside $1.4 billion annual federal funding cuts, officials said.
- The Oregon Health Authority projects up to 200,000 Medicaid enrollees, mainly adults 19–64, could lose coverage starting in 2027 due to new monthly work documentation requirements.
- The bill reduces Medicaid funding by $50.4 billion nationally, risking hospital closures, and blocks one-year funding to clinics providing abortions with over $800,000 in Medicaid; many health providers face financial and service impacts.
- U.S. Senators Wyden and Merkley warn that over 300 rural hospitals nationwide face closure risks, while Oregon taxpayers will fund hundreds of millions in system upgrades after 2026.
