Who would be affected by health care cuts in Trump's budget

Season 2025 Episode 181 | 6m 29s

Recent changes to President Trump’s tax and spending bill would cut roughly $1.1 trillion in health care spending over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. It also found the bill would result in 11.8 million people losing health insurance by 2034 with the majority of those cuts hitting Medicaid. Laura Barrón-López discussed the impact with Larry Levitt of KFF.
