A Republican domestic policy bill threatens to leave 11.8 million Americans without health insurance over the next decade. The bill, aiming for nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Obamacare, and the Children's Health Insurance Program, will increase income verification frequency, tighten eligibility requirements, and impose work mandates for Medicaid recipients. Changes include stricter verification for those enrolled in Medicaid and Obamacare, potential delays in Children's Health Insurance Program enrollment, and reduced access for immigrants. These measures could lead to significant coverage losses, mirroring similar experiences in states that previously implemented stricter eligibility checks.
