Hawley warns GOP Medicaid cuts are ‘morally wrong and politically suicidal’

  • Senator Josh Hawley spoke on January 28 on Capitol Hill to oppose GOP proposals cutting over $880 billion from Medicaid and related programs.
  • The proposal aims to fund tax cuts outlined in President Trump’s agenda, but Hawley and others warn this move could harm working-class voters dependent on Medicaid.
  • House Republicans plan $715 billion in Medicaid and ACA cuts with new work and verification requirements, risking coverage loss for 8.6 million people according to the CBO.
  • Hawley wrote an op-ed declaring Medicaid cuts both “morally wrong and politically suicidal,” noting that almost 1 in 5 Americans benefit from the program and millions in Missouri depend on it.
  • Hawley’s stance highlights internal GOP tensions and may influence the fate of the budget bill amid concerns about voter backlash and the party's identity crisis.
