Republicans unveil steep cuts to Medicaid in portion of Trump tax bill

  • House Republicans unveiled legislation on May 11, 2025, proposing $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over ten years to offset $4.5 trillion in tax breaks.
  • The legislation imposes new community engagement mandates for adults without dependents who are capable of working and limits Medicaid funding for gender-affirming treatments, abortion service providers, and undocumented immigrants.
  • The Congressional Budget Office estimates the changes would cause 8.6 million fewer insured Americans by 2034, with 2.3 million losing coverage due to administrative barriers.
  • Rep. Brett Guthrie said, “Savings like these allow us to renew the Trump tax cuts and keep Republicans' promise to hardworking middle-class families,” while Democrats warned millions would lose coverage.
  • The bill faces opposition from moderate Republicans and Democrats, suggesting challenges ahead for its passage and potential impacts on states' Medicaid funding and beneficiaries.
