President Trump's legislative agenda faces a critical moment as Republicans draft the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' a fiscal package containing substantial changes, especially to Medicaid. The bill proposes work requirements for childless adults on Medicaid, increases co-pays for higher income beneficiaries, and necessitates tighter residency verification processes. CBO estimates suggest potential savings of $912 billion over a decade, but at the cost of potentially losing insurance for 8.6 million individuals. While the bill includes several GOP priorities, some ultraconservatives express disappointment at the scope of Medicaid reductions.
The bill includes cuts to Medicaid, and millions could lose health coverage as states would implement work requirements for childless adults on Medicaid without disabilities.
As part of the legislation, Medicaid recipients may have increased co-pays and greater residency verification requirements, impacting access to healthcare for millions.
The congressional budget office predicts that over the next decade, the legislation might save about $912 billion, yet 8.6 million people could lose their insurance.
While the bill aims to fulfill Trump's agenda, some ultraconservatives feel it falls short regarding the depth of Medicaid cuts they desired.
