A preliminary estimate from the Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill would reduce federal spending for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act’s provisions by more than $1 trillion over a decade, resulting in nearly 12 million more people becoming uninsured by 2034.
The bill cuts approximately $930 billion from Medicaid over the next decade, risking coverage loss for roughly 11.8 million adults by 2034. Medicaid recipients who are non-disabled, childless adults aged 19–64 must complete 80 hours per month of work, community service or education in order to remain eligible. In addition, recipients must verify their eligibility every six months. ARTICLE
