US EditionTrump Voters Wanted Relief From Medical Bills. For Millions, the Bills Are About to Get Bigger
UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – The tax cuts will leave 10 million more uninsured by 2034 and increase premiums and out-of-pocket costs, while reducing protections against medical debt, experts say.
- President Trump signed tax cut legislation on July 4, 2025, rolling back protections removing medical debt from credit reports.
- The rollback followed the Trump administration’s decision not to defend January regulations designed to shield Americans from medical debt impacts.
- The legislation raises some doctor visit copayments up to $35 for Medicaid enrollees and is expected to cause millions to lose health coverage.
- Economist Kyle Caswell noted Medicaid expansion lowered medical debt and improved credit scores, but the tax cuts will slash over $1 trillion in health spending.
- Advocates warn the changes will increase medical debt, worsen credit scores, and reduce treatment access, especially harming vulnerable communities.
