US EditionPicketers Protest House Budget Bill Outside of Riley Moore's Morgantown Office
- House Republicans advanced a budget bill on May 22 proposing $1.1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP over the next decade, primarily in Washington, D.C.
- These cuts respond to fiscal concerns, including shifting costs to states like Georgia and Alaska, which face challenges administering SNAP and Medicaid under new work requirements.
- The bill mandates that able-bodied adults without dependents participate in at least 80 hours monthly of employment, education, or volunteer activities beginning by December 31, 2026.
- Experts warn these policies could cause millions to lose coverage, including eligible people, and disrupt access to critical services, with Jennifer Wagner noting many non-target individuals will lose benefits.
- If enacted, the legislation could fundamentally change public health and food assistance programs, placing financial strain on states and potentially increasing hardship for low-income families nationwide.
