Polling by KFF shows that 76% of Americans oppose cuts to Medicaid as Republicans consider funding changes for tax benefits. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., stated that his limit for Medicaid cuts is $500 billion, which could lead to significant coverage losses.
A Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis indicated that proposed cuts could risk health insurance for 36 million Americans enrolled in Medicaid.
Advocates argue that cuts to Medicaid harm vulnerable families, especially Black mothers, facing higher health risks.
