flag Democratic states prepare for federal cuts by allocating millions to protect Medicaid, SNAP, and rural health care.

flag Democratic-led states including California, Colorado, Oregon, and New Mexico are responding to President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” by launching special sessions or allocating state funds to counteract projected federal cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and rural health care. flag These states anticipate significant revenue losses due to tax changes tied to federal codes and rising costs from new work requirements and administrative shifts starting in 2026 and 2027. flag California has set aside $255 million, including funds to reduce SNAP errors and support counties under new rules, while Colorado faces a $783 million budget gap and New Mexico plans to bolster food and health programs despite a $200 million annual shortfall. flag Republican-led states have not taken comparable actions, highlighting a growing partisan divide in responses to the federal legislation’s fiscal impact.
