Track the Health Provisions in New Tax and Spending Law with KFF’s New Summary and Implementation Timeline
The budget reconciliation law signed by President Trump earlier this month includes dozens of provisions that affect health care, including Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and Medicare.
KFF’s new summary and implementation timeline provide an easy way to track each of the law’s health provisions as the Trump administration and states start to implement them.
The summary explains provisions that cut federal spending on health care and are expected to increase the number of people who are uninsured, such as new work requirements for many Medicaid enrollees and new rules for ACA marketplace enrollment. It also describes provisions that increase federal spending, such as a $50 billion rural health fund and an expansion of tax-preferred Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). It includes information about the provisions’ expected impact as scored by the Congressional Budget Office.
The timeline presents all the provisions in order based on their start dates specified in the law. It is searchable and sortable by category, allowing users to quickly find specific provisions on a topic.
