Medicaid Rule Rollbacks Could Leave Millions without Coverage
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Federal Medicaid cuts could cause 12 million Americans to lose coverage by 2034, disproportionately affecting disabled LGBTQ+ adults and parents, experts warn.
- President Donald Trump signed a tax and spending law on July 4, 2025, that includes over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and CHIP over the next decade.
- The law moves up Medicaid coverage prohibitions and adds work and volunteer requirements, which experts warn will cause millions to lose coverage and increase uninsured rates.
- Research predicts these changes could lead to more than 100 rural hospital closures, 302,000 job losses, $7.6 billion in medical debt, and reduced economic output by 2034.
- Senator Josh Hawley said, “I want to see Medicaid reductions stopped” and called for permanent rural hospital funding while acknowledging he shaped the law only to an extent.
- The cuts are expected to significantly harm vulnerable groups, including rural communities and LGBTQ+ populations, by worsening access to care and social support programs.
