Trump's tax cut bill decimates Medicaid in NJ. Republicans are accountable

NEW JERSEY, JUL 8 – The federal budget law reduces Medicaid funding by more than $3 billion annually in New Jersey, putting health coverage at risk for 350,000 residents, according to the state Department of Human Services.

  • On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the 'Big, Beautiful Bill', enacting a $1 trillion reduction in Medicaid over the next decade.
  • To offset the cost of permanent tax cuts, lawmakers cut $1.2 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP, renewing tax breaks for corporations and wealthy households.
  • Data show more than 350,000 residents are expected to lose coverage, and New Jersey hospitals and public health institutions warn of over $3.3 billion in annual cuts.
  • In Washington, lawmakers established a $50 million rural hospital fund, while on Monday a federal judge in Boston blocked a provision barring Planned Parenthood clinics from Medicaid funding.
  • State officials warn next year, as New Jersey must find $300 million to sustain Medicaid, with counties facing a $78 million shortfall.
