  • 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 proposed cuts aim to reduce the federal deficit but are met with opposition from Democrats and health-care advocates who argue that the reductions will adversely affect millions of Americans, particularly those dependent on programs like Medicaid. 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.
