Overview

• The One Big Beautiful Bill Act extends Trump-era tax cuts, boosts border security funding and enacts deep cuts to Medicaid and the SNAP food assistance program
• Under CMS leadership, the law requires Medicaid recipients to complete 80 hours of work, school or volunteer service each month and enforces tighter income caps
• The Congressional Budget Office estimates up to 7.8 million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage by 2034, with some analyses warning potential enrollment losses could reach 15 million
• On July 14, Dr. Oz appeared on Fox Business with a “MAHA Medi-cake,” advising recipients to avoid carrot cake and focus on healthier food choices
• Critics including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and health advocates condemned Oz’s remarks as tone-deaf and said the diet advice overlooks the law’s impact on vulnerable populations
