US EditionTrump Signs Medicaid-Slashing Budget Into Law
UNITED STATES, JUN 13 – Over 190 health groups warn that proposed Medicaid cuts in H.R. 1 could cause coverage losses for 11 million people and strain hospitals, especially in rural areas, officials said.
- President Donald Trump signed the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act into law on July 4, 2025, imposing Medicaid restrictions and tax changes across the US.
- The bill narrowly passed the House after a Senate deadlock was broken by Vice President JD Vance's tie-breaking vote amid debates over Medicaid cuts affecting millions.
- The legislation introduces work requirements for Medicaid recipients, causing one in four to lose coverage within seven months and threatens over 300 rural hospitals.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates 11.8 million people could lose coverage in ten years, while health insurance premiums may double for those displaced from Medicaid.
- These outcomes suggest increased strain on state budgets, higher uninsured rates, and potentially more hospital closures, challenging access to healthcare especially for vulnerable Americans.
