NEW YORK, July 14 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's spending bill is set to raise administrative costs and make managing costs more difficult for insurers like UnitedHealthcare and CVS Health's Aetna that operate Medicaid health plans, experts say.

Texas avoided some steeper Medicaid cuts, but hundreds of thousands of Texans are still projected to lose health coverage due to the new law.

President Trump's signature tax and spending legislation, the "big beautiful bill," is now law, and that means cuts to Medicaid spending. The big picture: The law sets in motion almost $1 trillion in slashes to Medicaid and other health policy changes,
