GOP bill delays painful cuts until after the midterms

Critics say a Republican-backed bill times its steepest cuts to land only after the midterm elections. Under the schedule being shared: Medicaid work requirements kick in December 31, threatening mass disenrollment; from January 1, people denied Medicaid also lose premium tax credits, and immigrants lose credits; and student loan relief ends July 1. Opponents argue the sequencing is designed to shield lawmakers from voter backlash.

Why now: The midterm elections are approaching and the bill's delayed cuts are being framed as an attempt to avoid accountability at the ballot box.
