Medicaid: Bracing for Local Impacts
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The law includes $1.2 trillion in social service cuts and new Medicaid work requirements projected to leave 11.8 million Americans uninsured by 2034, impacting hospitals and care access.
- On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, reducing federal Medicaid spending by around $1 trillion over a decade.
- Republican U.S. Senators promoted the bill as extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, funding border goals with $350 billion, offset by $1.2 trillion in social service cuts.
- Oregon health agencies warn that the Big, Beautiful Bill could destabilize the system, leading to potential Medicaid funding losses and longer ER wait times at Samaritan’s Corvallis Hospital.
- Projections suggest that nearly 20 million Americans could lose health insurance over the next decade, mostly after the fall 2025 midterm elections.
