US EditionHow Trump’s Budget Bill Could Affect Kids’ Access to School Meals in Washington
UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – The budget bill cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP, risking healthcare and food aid for 11.8 million Americans while extending 2017 tax cuts and increasing defense spending.
- On July 2, 2025, Utah and Washington advocates raised concerns about the impacts of President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' on health coverage and food assistance.
- The bill originated to extend 2017 tax cuts and increase the debt ceiling but includes about $930 billion in Medicaid cuts and $295 billion cuts to SNAP over the next decade.
- Advocates warned the bill risks stripping health coverage from over 188,000 Utahns, increasing hunger, straining rural hospitals, reducing school meal access, and overwhelming food banks.
- Matthew McCullough said the bill would cut 21 cents of every Medicaid dollar to hospitals, worsening deficits, while Joel Ryan noted it would hurt children from non-English-speaking households most.
- Opponents organized protests at Utah congressional offices and remain hopeful to change the bill before President Trump’s July 4 deadline to sign it into law.
