Millions of people would lose health insurance coverage under various Republican options to cut Medicaid spending to pay for President Trump’s domestic policy agenda, according to a new analysis the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released Wednesday.
For instance, a cap Medicaid spending for beneficiaries in the expansion population would save $225 billion and result in 1.5 million additional people being uninsured by 2034.
Limiting state provider taxes would save $668 billion but would mean an additional 3.9 million uninsured people by 2034.
The analysis, requested by Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), shows the difficult tradeoffs facing Republicans as they try to pay for their party-line bill, which among other provisions would fund an extension of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
