Are 5 Million Nondisabled Medicaid Recipients Watching TV All Day? That’s Unsupported
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Medicaid cuts in a recent federal bill could cause up to 7.8 million people nationwide to lose coverage by 2034, worsening mental health care access in rural communities.
- In rural America, residents face worsening mental health disparities due to recent Medicaid cuts, with experts warning that patients will lose coverage and rural health centers risk closure.
- On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the major tax and spending bill, making Medicaid cuts; the law reduces the federal government's matching rate for Medicaid expansion enrollees from 90% to between 50% and 74%.
- Research shows Medicaid work requirements drive enrollment declines; `it's quite a strain on the finances of that system,` Dr. Ian Bennett said, attributing coverage losses to compliance struggles.
- Nearby rural critical access hospitals and mental health centers have already shut down, and `You can't work when your mental illness is not treated`, said Dr. Heidi Alvey.
- Over the next ten years, cuts could force low-income rural families to pay for mental health care out of pocket and travel farther for services, experts say, and over that period could deepen access gaps.
