9,300 Noncitizens in Illinois to Lose Medicaid Benefits Due to Changes by Federal Government

  • Roughly 5,550 Minnesotans relying on Medicaid face coverage loss this week following the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill Act,' though the Department of Human Services says most can transition to MinnesotaCare.
  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., described the changes last year as "commonsense reforms to Medicaid" aimed at eliminating waste and protecting the program for vulnerable children and the elderly.
  • Roughly 200 to 250 Minnesotans with disabilities relying on Medicaid-funded waivers face significant challenges, as MinnesotaCare does not cover home and community-based services like daily living assistance.
  • More than 281,000 immigrants across nine states and the District of Columbia face coverage loss in October, though California is spending $365 million for temporary coverage through July 2027.
  • Hospital officials warn that uninsured patients delay treatment until conditions worsen, shifting unpaid costs to other patients; Minnesota officials brace for further impacts next year when federal work requirements begin.
