Medicaid Cuts Under New Act Threaten Disabled Americans' Lives and Independence

Summary

An actor with a disability, reliant on Medicaid for essential care, highlights the contradiction between their professional success and a new law, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which threatens to cut Medicaid funding by $1 trillion and leave millions uninsured. The author argues that these cuts disproportionately affect disabled individuals and are linked to tax cuts for the wealthy, undermining the progress made by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
