US EditionWhat to know about the GOP’s Medicaid bill
- In May 2025, House Republicans, including swing-district Rep. Tom Kean Jr., introduced a Medicaid bill through the Energy & Commerce Committee aimed at reducing government spending by hundreds of billions of dollars.
- The bill aims to curb increasing Medicaid expenditures as part of Republicans' wider effort to lower federal spending and taxes, while Democrats criticize it for being excessively severe.
- It includes Medicaid work requirements, tighter eligibility rules, reduced federal funding, and increases the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $30,000 to balance fiscal targets.
- A Congressional Budget Office report estimates 8.6 million people would lose Medicaid coverage by 2034 under the bill, which supporters say roots out waste and fraud while preserving benefits.
- The bill faces strong Democratic protests and some Republican dissent, with House passage aimed before Memorial Day and Senate consideration targeted by the Fourth of July.
