US EditionMontana Leaders Prepare for Federal Medicaid Changes
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The One Big Beautiful Bill Act reduces federal spending by $930 billion over ten years and introduces Medicaid work requirements affecting millions, despite broad public opposition.
- President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, H.R.1, into law on July 4, 2025, in Washington D.C., enacting major tax and spending changes.
- The bill extends 2017 tax relief permanently and introduces the first substantial Medicaid reform amid months of legislative negotiation.
- H.R.1 reduces Medicaid spending growth from 4% to 2%, imposes 80-hour monthly work or community engagement requirements for Medicaid expansion recipients, and tightens eligibility checks.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates about 17 million Americans will lose health coverage under the plan, while 85% of households gain tax cuts averaging $1,750 for middle incomes.
- Opponents warn the bill disproportionately benefits the wealthy, threatens Medicaid access and public health, and triggers local government budget reviews and public health concerns.
