Beyond Health: Medicaid Cuts Would Bring Widespread Harms to Americans

House Republicans have proposed a budget, with President Trump’s backing, that could potentially cut up to $880 billion from Medicaid over ten years. In addition to devastating health impacts for Americans covered by Medicaid and for state budgets, these potential cuts would have harms that extend to areas such as education, gun violence, and child care.
