The budget bill President Donald Trump signed into law last week includes more than $1 trillion in spending reductions on Medicaid over the next decade, and nearly $200 billion in cuts to funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during that same time, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

While Senator John Thune praises President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” others throughout South Dakota have raised concerns about it. KELOLAND’s Don Jorgensen sat down with Thune about the bill, but we also talked with two organizations about the possible impact the bill could have on people who rely on Medicaid

President Trump already signed the Big, Beautiful Bill into law, but Representative Pete Stauber (MN-08) continues to face criticism from some of his constituents over his vote in favor of the funding package.
