The indoor-passed settlement bill is causing new scrutiny as analysts calculate the proposed cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which will involve proposed cuts across the health care system. This includes estimated millions of people losing health coverage, thousands of people losing lives, billions of dollars transferred to state budgets, exacerbating the direct care workforce crisis and damage to the infrastructure of the health care system, including hospital closures, nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and more.
Terminate millions of coverage
As we have covered before, the most obvious health care unit in the budget bill will terminate coverage for nearly 11 million people with Medicaid cuts and add millions to the failure to extend the ACA tax credit. Together, this will increase the number of uninsured people by 50%, to about 16 million.
Most of these losses take the form of a punitive traditional Chinese tape that deprives those who qualify for the need and qualifying care, forces them to complete endless paperwork and income verification, or punishes them for unemployment, illness, disability, or care.
Other provisions will deprive the states of Medicaid funds that use the sole state funding of Medicaid funds to provide coverage to immigrants.
The burden of traditional Chinese tape festival affects millions of people who need help paying for health insurance premiums and cost allocations. They will have to skip basketball to get and retain assistance from Medicaid and Medicare Savings Programs, as well as their participation in the Department of Life Saving Part D Low Income Subsidy (LIS) Program.
Promote coverage and care costs for everyone
As bad as direct coverage losses, they are not the whole story. Throughout the healthcare system, the impact of people without health insurance will ripple. The National Association of Insurance Specialists has reduced the number of changes in the insurance risk pool and the number of changes caused by unpaid care by providers. Providers and remaining market staff are more costly. ”

These forecasts echo other analyses from forecast providers that will lose $1 trillion from these cuts, of which $40.8 billion comes from hospitals. Additionally, as millions find themselves without coverage, unpaid care for providers will increase by nearly $300 billion.
Transferring costs to states will result in the loss of vital services for seniors and disabled people
The chain reaction will not stop. The bill would shift billions of dollars in costs to national budgets in health care and food aid.
Cuts to cut federal Medicaid funds force states to bear more burdens, and a letter from a CBO clearly proposes state choices: “1. Spend more state money using revenue increases and reduces spending on other financing programs; 2. Reduce payment rates for health care providers; 3. Restrict scope or scope of scope or scope of limiting options and reduce recruitment of health care services.” ”. Ultimately, the result will be the same: Cuts will force states to trim costs in Medicaid or other important programs and services and keep many from meeting basic needs.
These cuts will force states to reduce the costs of Medicaid or other important programs and services and prevent many from meeting basic needs.
CBO's option 3, cutting the “optional advantage” is particularly possible. This happened before, when state funds were exhausted due to shortages and recessions, with the elderly and disabled being the first to be affected. Priceless home and community-based services (HCB) are “optional” under Medicaid rules that allow people to age at home and in their communities, meaning states can stop offering them with their choice. With few other trims, states will be forced to cut down on these optional services in order to continue to pay for those who need it.
Health care workers are at risk
The reductions in the bill will put greater pressure on hazardous healthcare workers, especially direct care workers who help older people and disabled people in many facilities and home care settings. These workers are usually very low-paying workers who rely on Medicaid’s own coverage. Experts in space expect more and more caregivers to leave the market as providers lose their income and work quality deteriorates: “In the face of a shortage of direct caregivers, family members (age-related women) will be forced to cut work hours or leave work altogether to take care of loved ones.”
Hospitals, especially in rural areas
In many areas, rural hospitals are already on the verge of the margins, especially in 10 states that have not yet expanded access to Medicaid. The increase in unpaid care costs for patients without coverage, and the lack of payment capacity will only bring these hospitals closer to closure. The American Hospital Association said bluntly: “Hospitals, especially in rural and underserved areas – will be forced to decide whether they have to reduce their services, reduce their staff and potentially consider the difficult decision to close the door.”
While the cuts in the packaging appear to include and target low-income Americans, the legislation poses dangers to the health, life, economic stability, and quality of life for everyone in the United States who needs health care or insurance coverage.
