Medicaid cuts severely impact states like New York, California

New analysis shows that states like New York, California, Louisiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia would face significant Medicaid cuts under Republican budget proposals. These cuts could total $880 billion, impacting both Democratic and Republican districts. Congressional districts in New York City, Detroit, and California’s Central Valley could lose $4 billion to $5 billion each over nine years. The House passed a budget resolution on February 25, which includes these cuts alongside reductions in other programs. A stopgap bill is expected to pass today, funding the government through September 30. The Senate's budget plan does not currently include such deep cuts, but both versions will need to be reconciled.
