The Senate has just passed what amounts to the biggest health reform plan since the ACA, rolling back many of the health insurance coverage increases achieved by the ACA.

About 17 Million More People Could be Uninsured due to the Big Beautiful Bill and other Policy Changes In total, due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and other policy changes, the number of people without health insurance is expected to increase by about 17 million. If all of this comes to pass, it wo...

About 17 million people are expected to lose health coverage due to the Big Beautiful Bill and other policy changes, the largest ever rollback in health coverage due to federal policy changes that will reverse many of the coverage gains achieved by the ACA. @kff.org

This thread about ACA cost-sharing reduction payments (CSRs), silver loading, and abortion coverage is going to get wonky, so bear with me. It has some strange twists.

Medicaid cuts in the House E & C Cmte bill would take health coverage away from millions by slashing hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds. Loss of coverage means diseases go untreated & families face exorbitant medical debt.🧵 energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chairm...

The Republican House Budget Resolution seeks to cut $800 million from Medicaid. Eliminating the enhanced federal match for the ACA Medicaid expansion is on the table. A new @kff.org state-by-state analysis finds that Medicaid coverage for up to 20 million people could be at stake.

New: If enhanced federal payments for the ACA Medicaid expansion are eliminated, states have two choices:

1. Make up for the cut, at a cost of $626 billion over a decade.

2. Rollback the expansion, leading to 20 million people losing Medicaid.

Foreign aid pause update: While many wait to see if PEPFAR will receive a "life-saving humanitarian assistance" waiver, interesting to note that one area explicitly excluded from waivers is family planning (e.g., antenatal/postnatal care, contraception...)

Six decades ago President Johnson used participation in Medicare as leverage to desegregate hospitals.

Today President Trump issued an order to use Medicare participation as leverage to get health care providers to stop providing gender-affirming care to youth.

Medicaid covers 72 million people, more than one out of every five people in the U.S.

Do they issue Presidential Executive Orders on weekends or are they done for the week?

My @kff.org colleagues & I took a deep dive into what to expect from Trump 2.0 on abortion, contraception and pregnancy-related care. These actions will take more time than an Executive Order, involving Congress & new regs, but I’m expecting they'll emerge soon.
