The Senate parliamentarian's recent ruling against a Medicaid provider tax overhaul poses a significant challenge for Republicans aiming to pass President Trump's tax cut and spending bill. As GOP leaders grapple with procedural setbacks, they confront potential massive cuts to Medicaid, which would severely impact vulnerable populations. With Trump's Fourth of July deadline approaching, party leaders are adjusting strategies amid concerns of losing support from within their ranks for proposed changes that many believe are too extreme, threatening millions of Americans' health care coverage.
Republican leaders are now forced to consider difficult options as the Senate parliamentarian advised that a Medicaid provider tax overhaul does not adhere to procedural rules.
The GOP plans would have meant $250 billion less for health care, resulting in massive Medicaid cuts that hurt kids, seniors, and working families.
