ST PAUL, MINN – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Wednesday that Minnesota would lose $500 million from Medicaid annually if the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ passes.
That amount is in addition to $100 million lost in enhanced tax credits for MNsure enrollees and $244 million in annual food support. He said tens of thousands of Minnesotans would lose access to health care and nutrition would be compromised, as well.
“Republicans in Congress are taking away Americans’ ability to go to the doctor and put food on the table in order to give a tax cuts to billionaires,” said Governor Walz. “Make no mistake: The state will not be able to compensate for the hundreds of millions in federal funding we are going to lose if these cuts are enacted. The victims of this legislation will be families, children, veterans, rural Americans, and pregnant moms. I expect Minnesota’s congressional republicans to reject this bill.”
Libby Caulum, CEO of MNsure, said the legislation ‘will make health coverage for Minnesota’s working families much more expensive and much harder to access and maintain’ if passed.
