US EditionMost Gun Violence Victims Are Enrolled in Medicaid. Trump’s Cuts Are Putting Them at Risk.
GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE, AUG 08 – The $1 trillion Medicaid cuts signed by President Trump risk reducing healthcare and mental health services for gun violence victims insured by Medicaid, experts warn.
- Last month, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, defunding Medicaid that insures more than 70 million Americans—including nearly 50% children—and risking gun violence victims' coverage.
- Aiming to reduce federal expenses, the legislation could eliminate coverage for up to 17 million Americans, health experts say, threatening recent healthcare progress.
- Amid defunding concerns, studies link healthcare to better violence prevention, as individuals in households below the federal poverty line are four times more likely to be victims of gun violence, and access to mental health services and trauma-response treatments increases.
- Under the legislation, many will struggle to retain insurance, and Dr. Kyle Fischer warned that the legislation 'will cost people their lives.'
- During President Joe Biden’s administration, at least eight states used Medicaid to support community violence intervention, amid sharp funding cuts risking decades of public health work.
