Outlets disagree on this: The existing cluster states 15 million Americans will lose health insurance due to OBBBA Medicaid cuts. The Urban Institute, as reported by AOL, projects a smaller reduction of 5 to 10 million people losing Medicaid enrollment due to work requirements and eligibility checks beginning in 2027. The CBO, as reported by Talking Points Memo, projects 7 million will lose ACA Medicaid expansion coverage and 11 million total uninsured by 2032.
