The Republican domestic policy law significantly increases funding for U.S. military cyber operations, with major allocations including $250 million for AI at Cyber Command and $1 million for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's offensive cyber capabilities against top national adversaries. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency receives $20 million, while $90 million is designated for cybersecurity support for non-traditional contractors. The Coast Guard is allocated $2.2 billion for cyber asset upkeep. However, substantial cuts to Medicaid may jeopardize rural healthcare by limiting resources for cybersecurity measures against breaches.
The law establishes a $250 million investment for AI-related efforts at Cyber Command. Meanwhile, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command would get $1 million devoted to offensive cyber capabilities.
Around $20 million is allotted to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, while a separate $90 million tranche includes cybersecurity support 'for non-traditional contractors.'
The Coast Guard would get $2.2 billion for cyber asset upkeep and $170 million for maritime domain awareness assets related to cyberspace.
Reductions in Medicaid funding of this magnitude would likely accelerate rural hospital closures and reduce access to care for rural residents.
