House Republicans introduced legislation that could drastically alter Medicaid, potentially cutting coverage for millions, including vulnerable groups like children and individuals with disabilities. The legislation, tied to a budget reconciliation package aimed for completion by Memorial Day, introduces stricter work requirements and payment mandates, estimating at least $715 billion in spending cuts over ten years, leaving 8.6 million Americans uninsured. Analysts note the public may struggle to grasp the complex technical changes, but the direct impact of uninsured individuals is clear and considerable.
House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans â including children and people with disabilities â to help fund tax breaks that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
The healthcare section of the new Republican bill would cut spending by at least $715 billion over the next decade and leave at least 8.6 million more people without insurance.
