A recent study warns that under a Republican congressional bill, up to 20 million individuals may lose Medicaid coverage due to cuts affecting the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. The legislation aims to reduce funding through tax cuts for the wealthy while simultaneously imposing stricter work requirements for Medicaid recipients. Critics, including the American Hospital Association, argue this will significantly impact vulnerable populations relying on Medicaid for essential health care services, highlighting the potential consequences of prioritizing tax reductions for higher income groups over support for low-income Americans.
There is a direct link between their desire to extend very expensive tax cuts for very wealthy people and the cuts they are putting on the table that will take health coverage and food assistance away from people that struggle to afford the basics.
Medicaid provides health care to many of our most vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, children, the elderly, disabled and many of our working class.
