Trump, SNAP and Beautiful Bill
Digest more
A new non-partisan report reveals that President Trump's recently passed bill could result in 3.2 million people losing their SNAP benefits and 8 million people losing health coverage through Medicaid over the next decade.
It would impose work requirements for low-income adults to receive Medicaid health insurance and increase them for food assistance, as well as cut funding for services like birth control to the nation's biggest abortion provider and place limits on gender-affirming care.
More than an estimated 8 million recipients could lose Medicaid coverage, according to a CBO analysis requested by House Democrats. Republicans say they're targeting able-bodied adults and undocumented immigrants, but other beneficiaries could also be impacted.
The GOP tax bill could boost the highest-earning Americans' incomes while hurting low earners, according to findings from nonpartisan research groups.
