State-Level Context for Federal Medicaid Cuts of $625 Billion and Enrollment Declines of 10.3 Million

State-Level Context for Federal Medicaid Cuts of 5 Billion and Enrollment Declines of 10.3 Million

A reconciliation bill passed by the Energy & Commerce Committee could reduce federal Medicaid spending by $625 billion, according to preliminary estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The savings primarily come from states implementing work requirements, raising barriers to Medicaid coverage, and limiting their ability to increase the state share of Medicaid revenues. The CBO estimates a decrease in Medicaid enrollment by 10.3 million by 2034. States, such as Washington, Virginia, and Montana, would be heavily affected, seeing a decrease in Medicaid enrollment by 15% to 32%.
