Here are the key changes and their potential negative effects on average Americans:

Medicaid

  1. New caps on federal funding, which would reduce coverage and benefits for low-income Americans, increase out of pocket costs, and cause people to lose their coverage.


  2. Allowing states to impose work requirements for recipients, which would cause people to lose coverage, increase administrative sots for states and recipients, and reduce access to preventive care and management for people with chronic conditions.


  3. Create time limits and lifetime caps, which would make people with long-term health problems lose their coverage, increase the financial strain on families dealing with serious illnesses, and create more uninsured people overall.
