The facts

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the 2025 GOP tax-and-spending law will cut federal Medicaid spending by roughly $1 trillion over a decade.

CBO projects about 11.8 million more Americans will be uninsured by 2034 as a result of the law's health provisions.

The law imposes new 80-hour-per-month work requirements on many able-bodied Medicaid recipients aged 19-64 starting in 2026.

More than 130 rural hospitals have closed in the U.S. since 2010, according to the University of North Carolina's Cecil G. Sheps Center.

Medicaid covers roughly 1 in 5 Americans and about 40% of all U.S. births, per KFF.
