What the One Big Beautiful Bill Means for Our Compass Families
The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill brings sweeping changes to tax policy, healthcare, and social support. While some provisions offer relief, others may pose serious challenges for the families we serve. Here's what you need to know:
Food Assistance at Risk
Proposed cuts to SNAP (food stamps) could leave millions of children without reliable access to food. These changes also shift costs to individual states, placing a greater burden on state budgets and potentially diverting funds from local programs. While the exact impact on Indiana is still uncertain, this could affect families statewide.
Medicaid Cuts
This bill includes over $930 billion in Medicaid reductions over 10 years, the largest in the program's history. These cuts stem from new work requirements and eligibility restrictions that could result in 8 million people losing coverage by 2034, including families with children and seniors.
No matter how these changes impact those we serve, Pathways will continue to stand with our families and support the well-being of our community.
