After House Republicans shared a new budget proposal this week, some Democrats began sounding the alarm that Medicaid funding could be significantly impacted by proposed cuts.
Nearly 80 million Americans benefit from the government-run health insurance program, and budget cuts to the program could dramatically reduce access to health care for low-income families.
The Republican Party has been looking to pass spending cuts as a way to extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which would add another $4.5 trillion in spending.
