Axios Visuals Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians will lose health care coverage because of Medicaid cuts included in the spending bill President Trump signed last week, Gov. Bob Ferguson warned Wednesday.

The massive bill is guided by spending requests from the White House. It will extend the 2017 Trump tax cuts, while cutting billions of dollars in social program funding. It’s been described as the largest cuts to social welfare programs since at least the 1990s, and according to some experts the most severe in modern history.

"Traditional Medicare has roughly 20% cost-sharing," Sommers said. "For people who have both Medicaid and Medicare, Medicaid covers those costs. Also, traditional Medicare has no out-of-pocket cap, meaning someone can rack up tens of thousands of dollars of costs if they have a catastrophic illness, which Medicaid would cover if they have both."

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” signed July 4, includes a one-year moratorium on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood that took effect immediately.

Americans really like Medicaid. That doesn’t mean Republican budget cuts will help Democrats.

New York’s state budget will take a $3 billion hit next year from President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill, a top state official said Thursday.

Some Washington lawmakers on both sides of the aisle insist the state must find a way to reopen a nursery for vulnerable babies in Kent.

Washington State will bridge Medicaid funding gaps post-federal cuts, Governor Ferguson announces, ensuring support for Planned Parenthood.

"There are like almost 5 million able-bodied people on Medicaid who simply choose not to work," Jennings said July 1 on "CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip." "They spend six hours a day socializing and watching television. And if you can't get off grandma's couch and work, I don't want to pay for your welfare."
