17 Million Americans May Lose Health Coverage Under The One Big Beautiful Bill

17 Million Americans May Lose Health Coverage Under The One Big Beautiful Bill

The recent protest outside House Representative Nicole Malliotakis’ office in Brooklyn, New York, highlighted the contentious issue surrounding the passing of the Big Beautiful Bill. This bill, signed by President Trump, is expected to have far-reaching implications for healthcare coverage in the United States. According to a report, 17 million Americans could lose their health insurance coverage by 2026 once the bill is fully implemented.

The bill includes provisions that target Medicaid enrollees, with 12 million individuals at risk of losing coverage. Additionally, changes in the Affordable Care Act marketplace could result in an additional 5 million people losing access to healthcare coverage. These changes are expected to lead to increased out-of-pocket healthcare costs, lapses in coverage, and overall losses for vulnerable Americans.

One significant impact of the bill is the restriction on Medicaid funds to nonprofit organizations and community health centers that offer family planning and reproductive health care services, including abortion care. This provision could result in gaps in access to vital healthcare services for underserved communities. Planned Parenthood, a trusted reproductive health care provider, is specifically targeted through this provision.

Furthermore, the bill imposes stringent work requirements on Medicaid enrollees, requiring individuals between the ages of 19 and 64 to work at least 80 hours per month. This could potentially lead to individuals losing their insurance coverage, especially those who are unable to work due to caregiving responsibilities, illness, disability, or education pursuits.

The bill also includes cost-sharing requirements for Medicaid enrollees, with potential out-of-pocket costs rising for individuals with incomes between 100% to 138% of the federal poverty line. This could place a significant financial burden on those managing chronic health conditions, potentially derailing household budgets and forcing families to forgo necessities.

Additionally, the bill cuts the Biden-era incentive for state Medicaid expansion, eliminating the financial incentive for states that opt to expand Medicaid. This could impact access to essential care for millions of Americans who have benefited from Medicaid expansion.

Moreover, certain groups of immigrants are no longer eligible for subsidized health insurance coverage under the bill. This includes immigrants residing in the country lawfully with incomes under 100% of the federal poverty line, as well as limitations on Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Program coverage for certain immigrant groups.

Overall, the One Big Beautiful Bill is set to have significant implications for healthcare coverage in the United States, affecting millions of Americans and potentially leading to increased out-of-pocket costs, lapses in coverage, and limited access to essential healthcare services. It is crucial for individuals and families impacted by these changes to stay informed and monitor their health plans and financial situations closely.
