These factsheets provide an in-depth look at how the House-passed budget reconciliation bill would significantly reshape two critical safety net programs: Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Developed by the Diverse Elders Coalition, each factsheet outlines the proposed funding cuts, eligibility changes, and policy shifts that would affect millions of older adults, people with disabilities, immigrants, and communities of color.
The factsheets also highlight how these changes may lead to reduced access to food and healthcare, increased paperwork burdens, and greater inequities in already underserved populations. These resources are intended to inform advocates, policymakers, and community organizations about the real-world implications of the bill and the urgency of protecting vital programs that so many rely on.
