Why this is important?

  • Cuts over $1 trillion from Medicaid over 10 years, potentially causing 10–12 million to lose coverage

  • About 20% cut to SNAP funding — potentially reducing benefits for over 2 million individuals

  • Combined with Medicaid cuts, up to 30 million could lose broad-based assistance

  • Terminates enhanced premium tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act, leading to 4 million losing health insurance

  • The lowest 10% of earners could lose roughly $1,600 per year — about 4% of their income

  • Households earning under $55k on average see net losses, while top earners gain tens of thousands

  • Policy analysts warn of 8,000–24,600 additional deaths annually due to cuts and reduced access to care

  • The top 1% gain $28,000+ per year

Combined cuts to healthcare and food aid create severe financial pressure — hitting poor, rural, elderly, disabled, and marginalized communities hardest.​
