  • Much has been said about the health consequences of severe Medicaid cuts. A new analysis from the Commonwealth Fund considers the jobs and revenue that states could lose.

The article from Governing discusses the potential economic impacts of proposed Medicaid cuts by the Trump administration. According to the analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), these cuts could lead to significant financial losses for states. Specifically, states might lose billions in tax revenue due to reduced federal funding for Medicaid, which would in turn decrease economic activity. The cuts are projected to result in the loss of approximately one million jobs nationwide, as Medicaid spending supports jobs in healthcare and related sectors. This reduction in federal support would force states to either cut services or increase their own spending to maintain current levels of Medicaid coverage, both of which have their own economic repercussions. The article highlights the interconnectedness of federal health policy with state economies, illustrating how changes in federal policy can ripple through state budgets, employment, and overall economic health.
