The Great Budget Act of Trump Verting – KFF Health News

The host

As he had wanted, President Donald Trump signed his large budget law in a large budget law in a ceremony of the White House on July 4, among other things, with billions of dollars in cuts on health programs such as Medicaid. The new law will also reform rules for the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and other health programs.

In the meantime, the threat of dismissals get stuck about the heads of employees of the Ministry of Health and Human Services, and financing for health -related contracts and subsidies continues to get stuck.

This week’s panel members are Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Rachel Cohrs Zhang from Bloomberg News, Rachel Roubein van de Washington Post and Tami Luhby of CNN.

Under the collection restaurants from this week’s episode:

• As details about Trump’s tax and domestic policy law come into the picture, it is clear that many immigrants in the country legally lose government benefits, in particular health coverage. While De Gop described the legislation as the focus of ‘illegal immigrants’, the law as written bars many people who live here with the permission of the government – including refugees and victims of domestic violence and human trafficking – of registering for Medicaid, receiving affordable care law market subsidies and more.
• Other aspects of Trump’s priority law received extra attention after the hurried passage. In an unusual political step, the Social Security Administration promoted beneficiaries the reduction of the taxes on social security benefits – that is neither the law, nor what a federal agency does when the congress takes a law.
• This week, the Supreme Court made a decision of its Shadowocket to support the assets of the Trump government to dismiss federal employees with only its executive authority. That opinion is the last curve about this year’s roller coaster for government employees, which suggests that many people can quickly lose their jobs.
• In News Agency Agency, public health groups prosecute the Trump administration on the withdrawn recommendations on COVID-19-vaccines-such as insurers and others in the health industry find out how to deal with a federal shift in recommendations for immunization. And HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Canceled a meeting of the US Preventive Services Task Force. The abrupt cancellation suggests that Kennedy could soon make the panel again, such as last month with the panel on vaccines.

Also this week, Rovner KFF Health News’ Julie Appleby, who reported the newest KFF function ‘Bill of the Month’, interviewed, about some very expensive immunisations from childhood. If you have a medical account that is exorbitant, astonishing or confusing, send it to us here.
