The political landscape is shifting with the anticipated return of Donald Trump, raising alarms about significant cuts to Medicaid as House Republicans consider a drastic budget overhaul. With proposals that could cut over $5 trillion, advocates warn that millions may lose crucial healthcare benefits. The House Budget Committee chair is pushing for severe Medicaid reductions, which many experts believe would force states to shoulder even more costs. Over 300 organizations have united to safeguard Medicaid, highlighting its importance to low-income families and individuals with disabilities. As the GOP eyes not only healthcare cuts but also climate policies, the potential impact on vulnerable populations continues to be a pressing issue.
