Republicans propose health-care cuts | Latest US politics news from The Economist

The latest news in US politics, with coverage of Donald Trump's second term.

The article from The Economist dated May 12, 2025, discusses a proposal by Republicans to cut health-care spending, which has sparked significant controversy.

The plan includes changes to Medicare, reducing subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, and altering eligibility criteria for certain health services. Critics warn that these measures could lead to decreased access to care and increased health disparities, while proponents argue that the cuts are necessary for fiscal responsibility and suggest that market-driven solutions could improve efficiency in health care delivery.
