FHJP’s Lynn Hearn quoted by CBS News regarding the impact of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” on Medicaid Recipients
President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ a sweeping tax and spending law, includes deep cuts to Medicaid that health advocates warn could strip coverage from millions — including at least 1 million Floridians who rely on the program. The Florida Health Justice Project says slashing billions in federal Medicaid support risks leaving vulnerable people, such as seniors, people with disabilities, and immigrants, without essential care. Providers could also struggle to stay open as fewer people have insurance and access services. The bill underscores growing concerns that federal policy changes are threatening health care access for millions of low‑income families.
