US EditionExperts Talk Impact of 'Big Beautiful Bill' in New Mexico
- Republican lawmakers push to pass the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' by July 4, aiming to restructure Medicaid for over 70 million Americans.
- Prompted by deficit reduction efforts, the bill's core Medicaid reforms include about $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and nutrition programs, offset by extending President Trump's tax cuts.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects $8.2 trillion in Medicaid spending from 2025 to 2034, with an 80-hour monthly work requirement risking coverage loss for 11.8 million Americans.

- If enacted, Medicaid coverage impacts may not emerge until a year after work requirements take effect, as the bill faces procedural challenges in the Senate.
