In this episode, Trina and Lani break down the major impact of the $5.3 trillion bill currently being passed. This sweeping legislation could significantly affect healthcare access, particularly for our kūpuna community.
Key points discussed include:
-
Medicaid Cuts: The bill proposes $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade, potentially eliminating coverage for over 8 million Americans.
-
Work Requirements: New work requirements for Medicaid recipients could lead to millions losing coverage.
-
State Impacts: States that fund Medicaid for undocumented immigrants may face penalties, affecting coverage for many.
-
Rural Healthcare: Rural hospitals, heavily dependent on Medicaid, may face service cuts, closures, or layoffs.
This episode is crucial for understanding how this legislation could impact you, your loved ones, and the broader kūpuna community.
