Trump signs bill with Medicaid cuts, work requirements, eligibility checks, provider taxes, and immigrant restrictions

President Donald Trump signed a bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid, potentially removing millions from safety-net coverage. The legislation passed narrowly in the Senate and was approved in the House mostly along party lines. The law includes provisions such as Medicaid work requirements, eligibility checks, cost-sharing, and limits on provider taxes. It also restricts immigrant eligibility and cuts funding to Planned Parenthood. The policies reduce federal spending on Medicaid by $1 trillion and could leave nearly 12 million more uninsured by 2034. Healthcare providers fear increased uncompensated care and reduced access to care.
