'Eight Million Americans Have Lost Their Healthcare': Trump-GOP Cuts Wreak Havoc in All 50 States

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump and the Republican Party's healthcare cuts last summer have resulted in approximately 8 million Americans losing Medicaid, CHIP, or Affordable Care Act coverage nationwide, severely impacting hospitals and healthcare providers.
• Protect Our Care highlighted that the GOP's $900 billion Medicaid cuts and the expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies caused premiums to soar, forcing many families to choose between healthcare and basic needs.
• In Maine, over 18,700 people lost coverage, with hospitals facing a $38 million funding loss and increased uncompensated care, leading to closures and service reductions at 20 healthcare providers.
• Alaska saw more than 25,600 people lose coverage and experienced a 346% average premium increase, with Senator Dan Sullivan supporting the Medicaid cuts amid his vulnerable reelection campaign.
• Advocacy leaders emphasize that these healthcare policies have harmed families across the country and predict that voters will hold Republicans accountable in the upcoming elections.
