Millions Could Lose Medicaid by 2034 — What Are Your Options?

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) warns that GOP-backed Medicaid spending reforms could result in over 5 million Americans losing health coverage by 2034. The proposals are part of a broader plan to fund Trump-era tax cuts and reduce federal spending.

What’s Being Proposed?

Among the CBO’s projections:

Expansion population cap: 1.5 million uninsured
Limiting provider taxes: 3.9 million uninsured
Full Medicaid cap: potentially higher uninsured rates

States may offset some cuts, but experts doubt most would fully replace lost federal funding.

Why It Matters

Medicaid is a lifeline for low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities. Cutting eligibility or funding could mean losing access to regular checkups, prescriptions, and critical care.
