Gist graphic of the week

As the One Big Beautiful Bill Act makes its way through the Senate, this week’s graphic features new survey data from KFF on how the public currently feels about potential Medicaid cuts. Regardless of party identification, more than half of low-income adults surveyed are worried about how Medicaid cuts could increase the uninsured rate, harm providers in their communities and negatively impact their or their family’s ability to pay for care. Democrats and independents are more worried compared with Republicans, with 9 in 10 Democrats and independents expressing concern about the impacts on the uninsured rate and providers. These new data are another illustration of Medicaid’s enduring bipartisan popularity with voters and reminds Republican lawmakers of the potential political cost of the bill.
