US EditionHouse GOP Lawmakers Are Proposing Nearly $1 Trillion in Cuts to Medicaid and Food Stamps. Here’s Who Could Be Impacted
- House Republicans proposed nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps on a bill considered in 2025 in the United States Congress.

- The bill would cut $698 billion from Medicaid, potentially removing coverage for over 8 million people in a decade, and reduce food stamp funding by $267 billion, risking nutrition assistance for 11 million.
