House Republicans have presented a budget draft that includes $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, with at least $880 billion coming from Medicaid, which could severely affect health coverage for millions. This draft diverges from President Trump's promise to not cut major entitlements like Social Security and Medicare. The proposed reductions come amidst a consensus challenge among GOP leaders regarding Trump's agenda. In addition, the cuts may extend beyond just Medicaid, impacting programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), highlighting an imminent shift in the federal budgetary approach.
The House Budget Committee's draft budget proposes spending cuts of $1.5 trillion and offsets $4.5 trillion in tax reductions, indicating critical Medicaid funding reductions.
House Republicans aim to implement at least $880 billion in cuts within the next decade, which could severely impact Medicaid and the health coverage of millions.
