Sharp Medicaid cuts could result in vulnerable Americans no longer being able to receive care, either by losing coverage or by closing the centers that provide such care.

The Senate version of the legislation makes even steeper cuts to Medicaid than the $800 billion slashed in the House-passed version of the bill.

The bill proposes a new $6,000 per-person tax deduction for seniors. The maximum deduction starts phasing down once income surpasses $75,000 per person, or $150,000 for joint filers. Then it phases out completely once income crosses $175,000 per person or $250,000 per couple.
