The House of Representatives passed a budget bill that cuts $930 billion from Medicaid, Medicare, and Affordable Care Act funding within 10 years. This will result in over 11 million people losing health coverage by 2034. Experts project that these reductions will lead to more than 51,000 additional deaths per year due to decreased access to healthcare. The bill also raises qualification requirements for Medicaid, potentially reducing the number of beneficiaries and affecting overall health, including those with private insurance.
Money can't necessarily buy an individual good health, but for a society, it can. The House budget bill incorporates massive cuts to Medicaid, impacting the health care system broadly.
The bill will lead to more than 51,000 additional deaths per year by decreasing people's access to health care, impacting more than just those enrolled in Medicaid.
When you slash $1 trillion from the health care system, you can't expect it not to have far-reaching harms, affecting not just Medicaid recipients, but everyone.
The bill increases requirements to qualify for Medicaid, decreasing the number of beneficiaries and potentially leaving more individuals without necessary health coverage.
