Proposed Federal Medicaid Cuts Threaten California’s Medi-Cal Program

House Republicans have advanced a budget proposal that includes significant cuts to Medicaid, aiming to offset the costs of extending President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts. California, with approximately 14.9 million residents enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program, could face substantial funding shortfalls. These reductions may lead to decreased services and coverage for low-income individuals, including seniors and children, underscoring the potential widespread impact on the state’s healthcare system.
