The proposed Medicaid cuts under the Trump administration could have a devastating impact on New Jersey, with up to 700,000 residents potentially losing access to healthcare. The Congressional Republicans' plan to allocate $880 billion for tax cuts over the next decade could result in a loss of $5.2 billion in Medicaid funding for the state, putting a significant strain on the healthcare system. This move could lead to reduced healthcare services, increased healthcare costs, and compromised health outcomes for vulnerable populations, including low-income families and individuals with pre-existing conditions, highlighting the need for affordable healthcare and Medicaid reform.
