The Senate parliamentarian's guidance has hindered Republicans' efforts in overhauling Medicaid provider taxes crucial to President Trump's tax plan. With procedural rules not adhered to, GOP leaders find themselves in a difficult position as they face potential backlash and even calls to dismiss the parliamentarian. The Medicaid cuts proposed could lead to significant healthcare losses for millions, complicating their objective to pass the bill by Trump's Fourth of July deadline. Democrats criticize the GOP's measures for potentially devastating healthcare support for vulnerable populations.
"Republicans were counting on big cuts to Medicaid and other programs to offset trillions of dollars in Trump tax breaks, their top priority."
"The outcome is a setback as Senate Republicans hoped to get votes underway by week's end to meet Trump's Fourth of July deadline for passage."
