Congress is preparing to consider substantial spending cuts that could deeply affect the Medi-Cal program in California. With 15 million residents relying on Medi-Cal, potential cuts to Medicaid are particularly concerning as President Trump and Republican leaders craft a federal budget that simultaneously aims to reduce government size while extending tax cuts. The House has already passed a plan featuring $880 billion in cuts targeting health care, but no agreement has been reached in the Senate, highlighting a contentious negotiation ahead.
"One of the most attractive spending cut targets to Republican leaders is Medicaid, the joint federal-state program that provides health care for 83 million people nationwide, including in California where the program is called Medi-Cal."
"Over the next two weeks, Congress will again consider massive spending cuts, cuts that could dramatically affect the 15 million Californians who rely on Medi-Cal."
