In states that choose to end expanded Medicaid eligibility, fewer covered beneficiaries mean hospitals will see less revenue and lower operating margins.

Hospitals, physicians, health insurers, long-term care providers and others warn of serious consequences for the healthcare system.

Washington spends around $21 billion on Medicaid a year. Around $8 billion is paid for by the state, while $13 billion is paid for by the federal government.

Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians could stand to lose their health care if the Medicaid cuts pushed through the House are approved in the Senate. SEATTLE — Gov. Bob Ferguson called the sweeping cuts to Medicaid that passed through the House a "four-alarm fire" at a press conference Thursday morning.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed onto a joint letter with other Republican governors in support of a "big beautiful bill" backed by President Donald Trump that is currently advancing through Congress and would cut $625 billion from Medicaid over the next decade if passed.

As proposed cuts to Medicaid move forward through a federal budget reconciliation bill, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority outlined potential impacts to the state during its Wednesday board meeting, including work requirements and a moratorium on new or increased provider taxes.
