Medicaid Cuts: What’s on the Table and What It Means for You
Fifteen years ago today, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, kicking off a sweeping overhaul of U.S. healthcare and expanding Medicaid coverage to more than 30 million Americans.

WSJ health-insurance reporter Anna Wilde Mathews and Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at the non-profit health policy research and polling organization KFF, discuss the kinds of changes that are on the table, from work requirements to federal contributions to states, and what they would mean for Americans’ healthcare more broadly. Luke Vargas hosts.
