House Republicans Propose $2.3 Trillion Medicaid Cuts to Fund Tax Cuts, Leaked Document Reveals
Jan 13, 2025, 02:00 PM
House Republicans are considering significant cuts to Medicaid, aiming to reduce federal spending by $2.3 trillion over the next decade, according to a leaked document. This move is part of a broader strategy to finance tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. The proposed changes include shifting Medicaid to a block grant system, lowering federal matching funds, and imposing work requirements. These alterations could result in millions of Americans losing health coverage, particularly affecting low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities. The proposals target the nearly $900-billion-a-year program that covers about 79 million Americans, raising concerns among Democrats and health policy experts.
