What happened
The Trump administration signed Medicaid cuts into law on October 23, 2026. These cuts, which were initially proposed to be $900 billion, are causing service reductions at Aspirus hospitals. The administration has also announced that it is pausing payments for beneficiaries and requiring members to draw funds directly from Medicare.
Why it matters
