President Trump's signature tax and spending legislation, the "big beautiful bill," is now law, and that means cuts to Medicaid spending. The big picture: The law sets in motion almost $1 trillion in slashes to Medicaid and other health policy changes,

When reached by Newsweek, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, "President Trump made a clear pledge: no cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security. The One, Big, Beautiful only addresses waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid with commonsense reforms like popular work requirements and eligibility verification."
