By Phil Galewitz and Stephanie Armour July 14, 2025 KFF Health News Original

Unless Congress — with help from the Democrats — waives PAYGO Act requirements triggered by the legislation Republicans tout as “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Medicare could still see as much as $500 billion in cuts, even though the program was spared in the actual bill. In other fallout from the tax and immigration bill, some Planned Parenthood affiliates stop accepting Medicaid.

What the Health? From KFF Health News: Digesting Trump’s Big Budget Law

July 10, 2025 Podcast

President Donald Trump’s big budget bill became his big budget law on July 4, codifying about $1 trillion in cuts to the Medicaid program. But the law includes many less-publicized provisions that could reshape the way the nation pays for and receives health care. Meanwhile, at the Department of Health and Human Services, uncertainty reigns as both staff and outside recipients of federal funds face cuts. Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post, Tami Luhby of CNN, and Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Bloomberg News join KFF Health News’ Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News’ Julie Appleby, who reported the latest KFF Health News’ “Bill of the Month” feature, about some very pricey childhood immunizations.
