US EditionRepublicans advance bill with steep cuts to Medicaid as part of Trump agenda
- House Republicans unveiled legislation proposing $880 billion in Medicaid cuts including work requirements and reducing federal matching funds.
- The plan is designed to counterbalance close to $5 trillion in tax reductions enacted under the Trump administration and will be reviewed next by the House Budget Committee.
- In Colorado, between 95,000 and 108,000 people could lose Medicaid coverage due to new work requirements mandating 80 hours of work or training monthly for adults without dependents.
- The Colorado Hospital Association projects the state could face an $11 billion shortfall over five years if federal matching funds on provider taxes are reduced, with Medicaid covering about 1.3 million residents.
- These Medicaid cuts could reduce coverage for millions nationally and prompt states like Colorado to consider special legislative sessions due to the financial and health care impact.
