💨 Abstract

The article discusses a controversial budget bill passed by the House of Representatives, backed by President Trump. The bill introduces work requirements for Medicaid and food assistance, aiming to reduce spending and encourage personal responsibility. Critics warn it could lead to 8.6 million people losing healthcare over a decade and strain rural hospitals. The bill also imposes new work requirements for SNAP benefits, penalizes states aiding undocumented immigrants, and cuts funding for Planned Parenthood.
