A budget plan with deep tax cuts will be adopted in the early part of 2025, possibly as early as January. But leaders are already developing the plan right now. To pay for those tax cuts, they intend to slash Medicaid (“TennCare” in Tennessee) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as “food stamps”). If that budget includes cuts to Medicaid and SNAP as leaders plan, Congress will likely cripple those programs and use the savings to pay for the big tax cuts.
