My home state GOP Senator Thom Tillis dug up the facts and said it best this week on $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid. @JoanAlker1, Andy Schneider, and I let his words speak for themselves in our new blog. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/07/01/tru…

My colleague Edwin Park has blogged about the new Senate bill CBO score confirming that Medicaid cuts are over $1 trillion. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/06/29/con…

This effectively repeals Medicaid expansion in only a few years. New analysis here: cbpp.org/research/medic…

G.O.P. Bill Has $1.1 Trillion in Health Cuts and 11.8 Million Losing Care, C.B.O. Says nytimes.com/2025/06/29/us/… via @NYTimes

I’ve respectfully disagreed with Rep. Tillis, Speaker Tillis and Sen. Tillis for years on Medicaid. On the effect of the trillion dollars of cuts to Medicaid in the Senate bill, today I 100% agree with the Senator. Great statement.

👀Our new report finds Medicaid is a key insurer for small business workers and their families. This is a pretty astounding finding especially as the denominator is all Medicaid enrollees which includes seniors and people with disabilities. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/06/26/med…

In a shocking dereliction of duty the leadership of the U.S. Senate - the so-called “world’s greatest deliberative body” - released text at midnight last night for the “OBBB” allegedly to start debate at noon today. Medicaid cuts remain extremely draconian.

The Senate version of the Medicaid work requirement doubles down and worsens a bad policy advanced by the House. It also gives the Trump Administration enormous leverage to protect their Governor friends and punish their enemies by timing the coverage losses. 1/7

From me and @JoanAlker1 : "The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is an Attack on the Affordable Care Act’s Vision of Universal Coverage" ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/06/11/the…

18 state-based marketplaces just sent a pretty blistering letter to House leadership about just how damaging the ACA policies in the reconciliation bill — which drive almost a quarter of estimated coverage losses, before accounting for expiration of enhanced subsidies — would be.

Our new report on the role of Medicaid for women of child-bearing age in rural areas is out! We have state by state data. Rural areas have been losing labor + delivery units at a rapid clip. Medicaid cuts will make this scary situation even worse for moms and babies.

Fascinating point in fine print of new House GOP Medicaid cuts, mandatory work requirements has an implementation date of Jan 1, 2029 after the next Presidential election. This is their marquee policy and they know it is not going to work.

“There would be no good way out of this for any state, no matter how rich or well-intentioned,” Alker told me. “It’s simply too much money.” latimes.com/business/story…

This will hit New Mexico especially hard.
