House Republicans released a legislative bill that includes substantial changes to Medicaid, as reported in posts on X. The proposal outlines $880 billion in cuts to the program over the next decade, aiming to reshape the healthcare system for low-income Americans. Medicaid currently provides coverage for approximately 72 million people, including those with disabilities. The bill, part of a broader Republican agenda, was advanced following debates within the House, with the intention of reducing federal spending while extending tax cuts. Additionally, former President Trump signed an executive order on the same day to implement a “Most Favored Nation” policy, targeting a reduction in prescription drug prices. This dual approach seeks to address healthcare costs, though the Medicaid cuts could impact millions of beneficiaries as the legislative process continues.
