Authored by UnidosUS, First Focus, and AFL-CIO, this report reveals how the current proposed budget reconciliation bill in the U.S. House of Representatives will implement historic, harmful cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, jeopardizing the health and wellbeing of nearly 45% of America’s children — 34 million kids, who rely on Medicaid for health care, SNAP for food, or both programs.
Children from all walks of life are at risk, but the dangers are especially acute for children in Latino families, children from other communities of color and children with working parents who never went to college.
This U.S. House proposed legislation, which passed out of the relevant U.S. House committees the week of May 12, 2025, is scheduled for a House floor vote by Thursday, May 22, 2025.
