Trump’s Tax Bill Could Cause 16-17 Million to Lose Health Insurance, Including 300,000 Medicaid Recipients in Pennsylvania

The recently passed tax legislation, referred to as Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill" or megabill, is expected to result in millions of Americans losing their health insurance coverage. Reports indicate that approximately 16 to 17 million people could be affected if the bill becomes law. The legislation includes substantial cuts to Medicaid, with an estimated 300,000 residents in Pennsylvania alone projected to lose Medicaid benefits. The bill has passed both the House and Senate, and experts warn that these changes will dramatically alter the healthcare landscape in the United States. The timeline for when Medicaid cuts could begin is under analysis as the bill moves forward.
