President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill proposes nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, potentially leading to over 16 million Americans losing health coverage. The bill imposes new eligibility restrictions and requires work for many adult enrollees, with an estimated 11.8 million people at risk of losing Medicaid coverage. Experts warn that the cuts will disproportionately affect low-income, disabled, and rural populations. Additionally, the law introduces provisions that will restrict health coverage access for immigrants and may lead to increased bureaucracy and eligibility challenges.
