Impacts of Trump’s Mega Bill on Medicaid and Health Insurance

President Trump appears unaware that the GOP's Medicaid-cutting bill will significantly reduce Medicaid coverage, despite his public promises to protect the program. The bill aims to offset costs from tax cuts and immigration enforcement by making deep cuts to Medicaid, which could result in 8 million people losing coverage and harm rural hospitals. The cuts were designed as waste, fraud, and abuse measures, but they will have substantial real-world impacts, and many Republicans are aware of this, planning to delay the most painful cuts until after the 2026 elections.
