Republicans diverge over budget cut proposals on Medicaid
- House Republicans are divided over Medicaid spending reductions as they face challenges in approving a budget plan by Memorial Day in Washington, D.C.
- The budget proposal seeks to advance President Donald Trump's priorities by reducing government expenditures by as much as $1.5 trillion in order to finance tax cuts, while simultaneously boosting funding for the military, fossil fuel industries, and border security.
- The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office reports the proposals could reduce Medicaid enrollment by about 10 million, raising the number of uninsured among the 71 million current Medicaid recipients.
- Republican Rep. Chip Roy warned that current health care expenditures, which account for more than one-third of spending, are driving the nation toward financial ruin, while Democrats criticized the proposed budget as irresponsible and accused it of favoring wealthy donors.
- The divide among Republicans and opposition from moderates in swing districts suggest the budget timeline is increasingly unlikely, with significant consequences for millions relying on Medicaid.
