New Delhi, May 21 -- House Republicans are advancing a proposal that could slash nearly $1 trillion from two of the United States' core safety net programs - Medicaid and food stamps - in an effort to align with President Donald Trump's policy agenda.

As CNN reports, if the legislation passes, millions of Americans could lose access to vital health and nutrition benefits.

The proposed legislation would cut nearly $700 billion in federal support for Medicaid over the next decade, according to an updated Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis cited by the news outlet. The changes could leave more than 10 million people without Medicaid coverage over the next 10 years, and by 2034, 7.6 million more Americans could be uninsured.
