WASHINGTON, D.C. — Every state in the nation would be devastated by the health care and nutrition cuts imposed by the Republican reconciliation bill that just passed the House of Representatives, according to a new report by the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and Public Citizen.
“Trading Life for Death: What the Reconciliation Bill Puts at Stake in Your State” provides a state-based breakdown of how many people could continue receiving Medicaid, SNAP, or the Child Tax Credit in each U.S. state if the superfluous militarized spending expansion on immigration enforcement and the Pentagon were removed from the package and reallocated back into human needs.
