Warnock | W000790 | www.warnock.senate.gov | warnock | https://www.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/ | scraper | A new report finds that more than two million fewer kids were enrolled in Medicaid in April 2026, compared to January 2025 when President Trump took office In July 2024, Congressional Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid Senator Reverend Warnock: “Two million vulnerable children have lost health care coverage for the sake of a billionaire tax break. That is a moral failure by our government and a betrayal of our responsibility to protect our children” Washington, D.C. – A new report from the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families finds that more than two million children have lost Medicaid coverage since President Trump took office in January 2025. This drop in the number of children covered by Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is alarming, as nearly half of all U.S. kids rely on the programs for health coverage. “This report should trouble the moral conscience of all Americans,” said Senator Warnock. “Two million vulnerable children have lost health care coverage for the sake of a billionaire tax break. That is a moral failure by our government and a betrayal of our responsibility to protect our children.” Senator Warnock has long championed efforts to expand affordable health care access. In June, he forced a vote to expand transparency surrounding Medicaid coverage loss nationwide. His effort to release the data was blocked by Senate Republicans 52-46. Last spring, the Senator released findings that the best way to get the most Americans working is to invest in Medicaid, making health care accessible to eligible Americans. ### | 1 | 2026-07-15T07:12:08Z | 2026-07-15T07:13:45Z |
