How Trump's Megabill Will Impact Health Care

OREGON, JUL 8 – The bill imposes work and eligibility checks on 40% of Oregon Health Plan members and reduces provider taxes that fund about 25% of the plan, officials said.

  • Last week, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, including significant Medicaid cuts and overhaul of entitlement programs like SNAP.
  • The bill, driven by GOP priorities to preserve tax cuts, includes Medicaid work requirements for adults aged 19–64 and new eligibility checks, leading to coverage concerns.
  • Approximately 40% of Oregon Health Plan members face more frequent eligibility checks, while the provider tax drops to 3.5%, impacting Medicaid funding and program administration.
  • Providers warn that, despite current assurances, many Oregon Medicaid beneficiaries may lose coverage, citing similar risks seen in other states with work requirements.
  • Health policy experts warn that Medicaid eligibility changes may overburden Oregon's emergency rooms and increase the uninsured population.
