US EditionHouse GOP moderates tell leadership they won’t back Senate tax bill over Medicaid cuts
- House GOP moderates, led by Rep. Jeff Hurd and 15 others, oppose the Senate tax bill over planned Medicaid cuts as of June 25, 2025.
- This opposition follows the House's narrow May 22 passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which included $800 billion in Medicaid cuts and Medicaid work requirements.
- Senate Republicans have met all week trying to revise Medicaid provisions, while rural hospital funding and state reimbursement rates remain major concerns.

- The standoff suggests the Senate may miss the July 4 deadline to send the bill to President Trump's desk, risking a legislative impasse over Medicaid reforms.
