众议院通过的一项有争议的预算法案可能会大大改变医疗援助计划,有可能削减数百万低收入美国人的保险范围。 A controversial budget bill passed by the House could drastically alter Medicaid, potentially cutting coverage for millions of low-income Americans. 该法案提出在未来十年内削减医疗援助计划近7000亿美元, 仅俄亥俄州就有可能覆盖75万人。 The bill proposes nearly $700 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade, risking coverage for 750,000 people in Ohio alone. 它还包括禁止为医疗补助领取者提供确认性别的护理,以及更严格的工作要求。 It also includes a ban on gender-affirming care for Medicaid recipients and stricter work requirements. 批评者,包括省长和保健领导人,认为削减会损害弱势人口,减少获得护理的机会,敦促参议院拒绝拟议的修改。 Critics, including governors and healthcare leaders, argue the cuts would harm vulnerable populations and reduce access to care, urging the Senate to reject the proposed changes.
