MiBolsilloColombia on MSNMedicaid cuts: A $715 billion savings at the cost of 8.6 million people?The legislative proposal in the US House of Representatives seeks to reform Medicaid, promising savings of $715 billion. However, these savings could leave 8.6 million Americans without health insurance by 2034.
A new hurdle for poor Americans, approved by the House, would cause millions to lose coverage, including many who are working but can’t meet reporting rules.
Republican lawmakers are calling for work requirements, stricter eligibility verification and some co-pays.
In areas where care access is often already strained, people who are pregnant or giving birth rely on Medicaid coverage at even higher rates.
House Republicans promised not to cut Medicaid, but a bill that passed early Thursday morning could jeopardize coverage for many in North Carolina.
