Minnesota state officials warned the bill would cut $500 million a year in reimbursements for hospital and nursing home coverage.

Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.

With the passage of President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill," there are lots of questions surrounding cuts to Medicaid. Over 3 million people in Illinois are on the tax-payer funded medical program.
