CBPP Warns House Budget Reconciliation Could Deepen Cuts to Safety Net Programs
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities warned that House Republicans may use budget reconciliation to enact additional cuts to federal safety net programs. CBPP President Sharon Parrott stated these cuts would harm families struggling with basic needs. Separately, CBPP highlighted that 76% of low-income renters who need federal rental assistance do not receive it, and noted Congress could address housing affordability in 2027 appropriations legislation. The timing and scope of potential reconciliation cuts remain uncertain.
Budget reconciliation cuts to safety net programs could reduce Medicaid eligibility or benefits, affecting MCO enrollment and revenue while increasing uncompensated care for remaining members.
