Senate Debates $1.2T Medicaid Cuts in Trump Bill
President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' proposes more than $900 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade, with further GOP amendments seeking $313 billion in additional savings by restricting enhanced federal funding for able-bodied adults without dependent children. The Congressional Budget Office estimates these measures could result in up to 11.8 million Americans losing health insurance, including significant losses in Pennsylvania and Maine. Critics, including Senator Angus King, warn these cuts could lead to preventable deaths and further strain hospitals, while supporters argue the reforms are necessary for fiscal responsibility and to better target benefits. The Commonwealth Fund has reported that states like West Virginia, which benefited greatly from Medicaid expansion, could see uninsured rates rise again. The bill also includes extensions of Trump-era tax cuts and increased military and border security funding. The Senate remains deeply divided as debate continues over the bill's impact on vulnerable populations and the healthcare system.
