How do you usually get your news, commentary and analyses?

No you can't. I've already posted the BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL several times and you haven't read it.

Yes, it's long. It requires an educated eye to read it.

⚠ The Senate Republican reconciliation bill would cut gross federal Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) spending by $1.02 trillion over the next ten years. That means the Senate bill’s Medicaid and CHIP cuts are $156.1 billion or 18 percent larger than even the House-passed bill’s draconian cuts of $863.4 billion over ten years.

⚠ These larger gross Medicaid and CHIP cuts are driven by changes to the House-passed bill that would further restrict state use of provider taxes to finance Medicaid, eliminate eligibility for many lawfully present immigrants, cut federal funding for payments to hospitals furnishing emergency Medicaid services, and further reduce certain supplemental payments to hospitals and other providers (known as state-directed payments). The spending effect of these additional cuts is modestly offset by increased Medicaid and CHIP spending from provisions not in the House-passed bill including a rural health transformation program, increased federal Medicaid funding for Alaska and Hawaii, and expanded waiver authority for home- and community-based services.

⚠ Overall, the Senate Republican reconciliation bill’s Medicaid, CHIP, Affordable Care Act marketplace, and Medicare provisions would increase the number of uninsured by 11.8 million in 2034, relative to current law. In comparison, the House-passed bill would increase the number of uninsured by 10.9 million in 2034. (More detailed CBO estimates of the specific Medicaid health coverage effects under the Senate Republican reconciliation bill are not yet available. For example, CBO estimates the House-passed bill’s Medicaid and CHIP provisions would cut Medicaid enrollment by 10.5 million by 2034 and by themselves, increase the number of uninsured by 7.8 million by 2034.)
