  • Over 3 million Americans could lose health coverage under the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion if President-elect Donald Trump pulls funding that would trigger automatic eliminations in several states.

The article from MSN discusses the potential impact of former President Donald Trump's proposed cuts to Medicaid funding on states that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). If Trump were to return to office and implement these cuts, nine states that expanded Medicaid could face significant financial challenges. These states, which include Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, and Utah, expanded Medicaid with the understanding that the federal government would cover 90% of the costs for newly eligible enrollees. However, Trump's plan to reduce federal contributions could force these states to either find alternative funding or scale back their Medicaid programs, potentially leading to millions losing health coverage. The article highlights the political and economic implications, noting that such changes could undo years of progress in providing healthcare to low-income individuals and might face legal and political resistance.
