US EditionRepublicans warn Trump admin about Medicaid cuts
- Moderate and battleground Republicans are warning party leaders against extensive Medicaid cuts amid debates over federal spending reform in 2025.
- This warning follows the Trump administration's proposed fiscal 2026 budget, which seeks to slow Medicaid growth by imposing federal caps and shifting costs to states.
- The proposal could reduce federal Medicaid funding by $880 billion over ten years, potentially causing 15 million people to lose coverage and pressuring states to cut programs or raise revenue.
- Representative Don Bacon emphasized that any cuts beyond the current proposals would require convincing around 20 GOP members that such reductions would not negatively impact the quality of healthcare, highlighting Republican concerns about potential political consequences.
- The resistance suggests Medicaid reform will face internal GOP divisions, implying lawmakers may pursue cost-saving measures that maintain access to care to protect vulnerable districts.
