Political battle erupts over Medicaid work requirements as Republicans frame them as preserving the safety net while Democrats argue they harm vulnerable populations.

The White House just spent six months jamming a massive legislative package through Congress with almost no margin for error. Now comes the real challenge.

The measure cements into law much of Trump’s agenda and is being hailed by the president and his supporters as a major victory.

Southern Ohio Medical Center in Portsmouth, Fayette County Regional Medical Center in Washington Court House, and Wayne HealthCare in Greenville all list maternity care as part of their services. Galion Community Hospital also has those services, and shares birthing facilities with Bucyrus Community Hospital, which was also listed as “at risk.”

Congress set aside $50 billion for rural hospitals and medical providers to allay fears over the billions more in historic cuts to federal health care spending that President Donald Trump signed into

States, already facing cuts to services by Trump administration, now trying to figure out how to fit Medicaid and SNAP cuts into their budgets.

During a weekly press conference held by the House Democratic Caucus, Chair Pete Aguilar spoke out against the Medicaid cuts included in Donald Trump's "one big beautiful bill."

Though the cuts will shut small public radio outlets in many states, most Republican senators kept silent as Democrats denounced their impact. Only two, Maine’s Susan Collins and Murkowski, opposed the measure, safe votes since the administration had enough support without them.

The Democratic National Committee paid for billboards in Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Montana blaming Trump for cuts and closures at hospitals.

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the bill will add $3.4 trillion to the national debt and increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s tax and spending law will add $3.4 trillion to federal deficits through 2034, the Congressional Budget Office reported Monday, a slight increase in the projection that takes into account the final tweaks that Republicans made before getting the legislation over the finish line.
