WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States House of Representatives advanced President Donald Trump’s budget bill in May, featuring major provisions aimed at dismantling the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.

The legislation includes measures to reduce funding for Medicaid expansion and roll back subsidies that help individuals afford insurance premiums.

The proposed changes would significantly impact state Medicaid programs, potentially resulting in the loss of healthcare coverage for millions.

The bill reflects long-standing Republican goals to reduce the federal government’s role in healthcare and shift more control to individual states.

Supporters of the bill argue that reducing subsidies and limiting Medicaid expansion will lead to long-term cost savings and promote market competition.

Republican lawmakers have maintained that the ACA places financial pressure on taxpayers and limits flexibility for states in managing healthcare delivery.
