Right now, House Republicans are formalizing their budget bill. If passed, the bill will throw millions off health care, take away food assistance programs, and more – just to give billionaires tax breaks.
Here are the facts:
- Nearly 80 million Americans will be at risk of losing their coverage due to cuts to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
- Rural hospitals that rely on Medicaid funding to stay open could be forced to reduce services or close entirely.
- More than 12 million children risk losing access to needed school meals.
- 1.2 million veterans, 4.8 million seniors, and 14.6 million children could go hungry as a result of cuts to food assistance programs.
