Washingtonians Face Mass Health Insurance Loss | JQJO

A non-partisan analysis reveals that over 274,000 Washingtonians could lose health insurance coverage within the next ten years due to proposed Republican legislation. The bill, which includes substantial cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is expected to be signed into law in early July. Sens. Murray and Cantwell criticized the bill, highlighting its significant impact on hospitals, nursing homes, and millions of individuals who rely on Medicaid or ACA subsidies. The cuts are projected to affect 194,000 Apple Health recipients and 79,000 ACA subsidy recipients in Washington state.
