US EditionCutting $700 Billion From Medicaid Is Going to Hurt
- Republicans intend to cut federal funding for Medicaid by $700 billion across the country over the coming ten years, with these reductions starting well before 2035.
- This plan includes adding work or community engagement requirements demanding around 80 hours monthly, aiming to restrict enrollment and encourage exits.
- Experts and officials predict these changes could increase uninsured rates by up to 21% in Virginia by 2034 and disenroll hundreds of thousands nationwide.
- Governor Katie Hobbs noted that new work requirements could cause about 200,000 Arizonans to lose coverage, while hospital CEO Todd LaPorte warned these policies may result in significant care loss due to administrative barriers.
- If enacted, the cuts and requirements might cause more uninsured people, strain rural healthcare facilities, and complicate Medicaid administration without guaranteed savings.
