Donald Trump’s signature policy bill approved by the House Thursday would cut Medicaid spending nearly $800 billion over the next 10 years with new work requirements and a ban on Medicaid for gender-transition care, among other measures... despite President Donald Trump’s repeated promises not to touch the popular entitlement program.

More than 7.6 million people would lose Medicaid benefits over the next 10 years under the bill, according to an estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office made before last-minute revisions to the legislation that would enact work requirements three years earlier among other measures expected to cut Medicaid spending even more.

It would implement additional “eligibility and enrollment” rules, including new address verification standards, provider screening requirements and penalties for states that offer coverage to undocumented migrants.

The section addressing “wasteful spending” calls for a prohibition on funding for gender transition procedures for both adults and minors under the federal Medicaid program and the state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

The bill would cut the federal matching funds states receive under the Affordable Care Act from 90% to 80% for those that provide health care for undocumented migrants, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. A total of 33 states and the District of Columbia could be affected by the penalty, according to KFF.
