""These support programs are being cut amid an increased environment of hostility towards LGBTQ+ people. We're really seeing this coming together ... of different pressures that are going to lead to poverty and unemployment among LGBTQ+ people.""
""The law issues extensive cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - two programs designed for low-income and disabled Americans that many LGBTQ+ people need to survive.""
The potential loss of health care coverage through recent legislation will severely impact LGBTQ+ Americans, who rely on social services. Experts warn that these cuts, in conjunction with rising discrimination and reduced workplace protections, could lead to significant poverty and unemployment in the LGBTQ+ community. The legislation reduces funding for programs such as Medicaid and SNAP, which are essential for low-income LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Those most affected include disabled LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and those raising children, exacerbating existing disparities in health care access and economic stability.
