On June 4, nearly two weeks after the partly-line, one-vote House passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released comprehensive estimates of its impact on the federal budget and health coverage.
As can be seen in the figures below, the numbers shatter claims by Republican proponents such as “no one will lose coverage” (16 million would); “the only thing we are cutting is waste, fraud, and abuse” (only 3.5 percent of Medicaid savings are from this); and that, “We’re going to keep the Affordable Care Act, unless we can do something much better” (ACA marketplace support would be cut by 40 percent and 53 percent of Medicaid cuts would come from the ACA expansion and work requirements that disproportionately affect the expansion population).
