Indiana Medicaid and SNAP Advocates React to Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’
- In May 2025, the House of Representatives narrowly approved the Big Beautiful Bill by a single vote and forwarded it to the Senate for further review.
- The bill extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, eliminates federal taxes on tips and overtime, funds nearly $50 billion for border wall construction, and proposes over $1.5 trillion in federal spending cuts including Medicaid and SNAP.
- Indiana advocates warn these cuts could shift $356 million in costs to the state, affecting residents dependent on Medicaid and SNAP amid growing national food insecurity.
- Congresswoman Erin Houchin emphasized that the legislation holds states more accountable for SNAP funding, while Feeding America highlighted that Indiana could face a cost shift of $356 million as a result.
- If enacted, the bill could reduce federal support for vulnerable populations in Indiana, implying significant impacts on healthcare and nutrition programs despite GOP assurances of protection.
