WISCONSIN (CIVIC MEDIA) – President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is poised to significantly impact health and social programs in Wisconsin, including Medicaid and SNAP.

The Republicans’ bill will terminate healthcare for 17 million Americans, including more than 250,000 Wisconsinites. In Wisconsin, Medicaid provides care for more than 1.2 million people, including four in seven nursing home residents, one in three children, and one in three adults with disabilities. While over 12 million rural Americans rely on Medicaid for health care, severe cuts to Medicaid will also jeopardize rural hospitals and clinics’ ability to keep their doors open.

The legislation also makes the largest cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in history. Approximately 700,000 Wisconsin residents rely on SNAP for food assistance.

The package was sent to the U.S House of Representatives for final approval before being signed by Pres. Trump on Independence Day. Read Civic Media’s coverage of the bill’s passing.
