Part 3/8:
Taxpayers in high-tax states will see some relief with the SALT deduction cap raised to $30,000 for those earning below $500,000. This adjustment aims to mitigate the unfair burden placed on residents of states with high property and income taxes, potentially alleviating some partisan tensions over tax policy.
Healthcare and Medicaid
The bill introduces several controversial healthcare provisions, including adding work requirements to Medicaid, raising coverage fees, and restricting Medicaid funding for gender-affirming care and abortion services. Critics argue these measures threaten vulnerable populations and could curtail access to essential health services.
