- 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.
