Medicaid faces $930 billion dollars in cuts
The Congressional Budget Office released an analysis of the current Senate budget bill showing $930 billion dollars in cuts to Medicaid.
The $930 billion cut number does not include cuts to Medicare, VA or other health programs which will also experience deep cuts.
“While Republican senators are securing baubles and trinkets for their political donors, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that the Senate bill will cut $930 billion from Medicaid,” Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore. “I urge Republican senators not to travel down this dangerous path: there is no band-aid that can heal these dangerous, deadly cuts.”
