  • Nine states are at risk of having millions lose Medicaid coverage if President-elect Donald Trump makes cuts while in office next year. Trump, who has pledged to reduce government spending, could put Medicaid on the chopping block.

The article from MSN discusses a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) which highlights the potential impact of former President Donald Trump's proposed Medicaid cuts. If implemented, these cuts could lead to millions of Americans losing their health coverage. The report uses a map to illustrate the states most at risk, with states like California, Texas, Florida, and New York facing the highest number of potential coverage losses due to their large Medicaid populations. The cuts are part of Trump's broader plan to reduce federal spending, which includes changes to Medicaid funding through block grants or per capita caps. These changes would limit federal funding, potentially forcing states to either increase their own spending or reduce eligibility, benefits, or provider payments, thereby affecting millions of low-income families, elderly, disabled individuals, and children.
