The One Big Beautiful Bill does not cut Medicaid according to the White House, but analysts claim it reduces the program's financing by $1 trillion, affecting 10 million people. A nationwide work requirement is implemented for Medicaid, demanding that able-bodied adults prove employment, volunteer work, or schooling for coverage. This requirement is portrayed as protecting the program from abuse. However, it will impose significant new costs on taxpayers and lead to millions losing health coverage, potentially resulting in devastating health outcomes for low-income Americans.
A trillion dollars in cuts is not a cut; stripping 10 million people of health insurance does not constitute shrinking the program.
The law implements a nationwide work requirement for Medicaid. Able-bodied adults will have to prove that they are employed, volunteering, or in school in exchange for coverage.
The Medicaid work requirement will not strengthen the program, improve the labor market, or kick lazy cheaters off government benefits.
Red tape will cause millions of people to lose health coverage, some of whom will perish because they cannot access care.
