US EditionTreasury Secretary Criticizes Democratic Lawmakers Over Medicaid Policy Disagreements
UNITED STATES, JUL 6 – Scott Bessent defended Medicaid work requirements in Trump’s legislation, citing a $1 trillion spending cut over ten years and noting prior Democratic support for similar policies.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, including a nationwide Medicaid work requirement in the U.S.
- The bill mandates able-bodied adults prove employment, volunteering, or schooling to qualify, prompting bipartisan opposition and debate.
- Critics note Arkansas removed nearly 20,000 people from Medicaid without boosting employment, while Georgia spends $9 on overhead per $1 on care.
- Budget analysts estimate the law cuts Medicaid funding by $1 trillion over a decade and eliminates coverage for 10 million people.
- The work requirements may cause millions to lose coverage, increase red tape, and risk deaths among those unable to access care.
