Republicans' Proposed Medicaid Cuts Could Impact 600K Oregonians
- Republicans proposed the One Big Beautiful Bill in 2025, aiming to cut billions in federal Medicaid funding, affecting states like Oregon.
- The bill reduces the federal match rate from 90% to 80% for Medicaid expansion states and penalizes those covering immigrants on humanitarian parole.
- Oregon’s Medicaid covers about 105,000 immigrants, including some undocumented, and up to 20% could lose coverage after eligibility checks become more frequent.
- State Medicaid Director Emma Sandoe warned the bill could cause a $1 billion federal funding loss yearly, risking closures of health centers like Planned Parenthood.
- The bill’s passage could increase Oregon’s uninsured rate and budget deficit, prompting concerns about worsened health outcomes and challenges maintaining coverage.
