GOP Budget Cuts Medicaid; Millions Face Coverage Loss | JQJO

House Republicans' proposed budget, while claimed by officials like Russ Vought and Mike Johnson to preserve Medicaid, is projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to reduce federal spending by $723 billion and cause 7.6 million people to lose coverage by 2034. These claims contradict expert analyses indicating new work requirements and stricter eligibility checks will lead to significant coverage loss, impacting those who struggle to meet the stringent reporting demands. Experts warn of serious health consequences resulting from this loss of coverage.
