Medicaid Cuts

As the U.S. House of Representatives debates President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill Act," a coalition of faith-based groups in Florida are making a last-minute plea to the state's Republican-dominated congressional delegation to vote against it because of the deep proposed federal funding cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Supporters say the measure will root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Opponents say the effects could be devastating for Floridians. The Your Florida team looks into what to expect if the bill becomes law.

House Republicans recently passed their version that would make historic cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Debate over the measure now moves to the Senate.

Appropriations Chairman Jay Trumbull says possible assistance from the federal government won't make up for the shortfall.
