How Trump bill Medicaid cuts will impact U.S. health care – American Nurses Association president quoted
Los Angeles Weekly Times by Ricki Carioti, July 2, 2025
The Trump administration and its allies insist the cuts in the bill aim to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. Democrats have said they break the president’s repeated promises not to touch the Medicaid program. Medicaid has been one of the most divisive issues throughout negotiations in both chambers, and some House Republicans have expressed reservations about how deep the cuts are. “I get that they want to cut fraud, but taking a swipe across the top is not going to solve the issue,” said Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, president of the American Nurses Association. She said the cuts could shutter hospitals and health centers in rural areas and lead to job losses for health-care staff such as nurses.
