Congress voted to pass a massive budget bill today that makes sweeping changes to government-funded health insurance, including cuts to Medicaid, that could cause more than 11 million people to lose their coverage.

The recently passed GOP tax and spending law cuts about a trillion dollars from Medicaid over the next decade. Those cuts, according to the Congressional Budget Office and other independent analyses, will add upwards of 11 million people to the ranks of the uninsured.

Georgia’s health care landscape may look dramatically different in 2026. A Georgia Recorder analysis found that 45 health care facilities across 35 Georgia counties risk reducing services or closing altogether due to Medicaid spending cuts.
