The Congressional Budget Office predicts a future decrease of uninsured individuals due to President Trump's budget bill, projecting 10 million will lose health insurance by 2034. New York officials, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, express concerns about the bill's adverse effects, particularly cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Hochul's spokeswoman articulates that 1.5 million New Yorkers may lose health coverage and food security access. Long Island's Republican representatives support the bill, which they argue reforms benefits to eliminate waste, while apprehensions about implications remain.
The Congressional Budget Office's updated analysis said that by 2034, the law would add $3.4 trillion to federal deficits and leave 10 million people without health insurance.
A spokeswoman for Hochul on Tuesday said nothing has changed for New York, citing devastating effects of federal funding cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
Simmonds stated that the New York Republican delegation pushed the bill, eliminating healthcare for 1.5 million New Yorkers and stripping food security access to millions.
Garbarino mentioned that the targeted reforms are designed to protect benefits for those in need while eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.
