Federal cuts to Medicaid passed under President Donald Trump’s signature legislation — dubbed as the “big, beautiful bill” — are raising concerns among Maryland health advocates and policymakers who warn the changes could affect not only low-income residents but also those with private insurance.

One health policy professor said cutting Medicaid and similar programs "will be devastating" to millions of Americans.

With the passage of President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill," there are lots of questions surrounding cuts to Medicaid. Over 3 million people in Illinois are on the tax-payer funded medical program.
