US EditionHow Medicaid Ruling Could Blow up Senate GOP’s Plans on Trump ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D.C., JUN 27 – Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled key Medicaid cuts violate Senate rules, blocking over $250 billion in spending reductions and forcing GOP to revise their budget plan.
- On Thursday, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough blocked over $250 billion in Medicaid-related cuts in Trump's bill.
- Prompted by the Byrd Rule, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough applied it to reject non-budgetary Medicaid provisions, blocking over $250 billion in health care cuts from the bill.
- In response to MacDonough’s ruling, Senate Republicans must retool or drop Medicaid provisions to avoid a 60-vote threshold, risking delays or failure to pass the bill by July 4.
- More broadly, the delay risks missing the July 4 deadline to deliver the bill to President Trump, potentially forcing a standalone vote needing Democratic support and prolonging legislative gridlock.
