Senate Republicans have revised Medicaid cuts in Donald Trump's economic legislation, aiming to appease fiscal conservatives by offsetting tax cut revenue losses. This adjustment is crucial for advancing a major tax and spending bill, but could alienate key moderate senators like Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Thom Tillis. With a July 4 deadline set by Trump, Senate Leader John Thune faces the challenge of balancing competing demands. Additionally, revisions risk significant health coverage losses, with earlier estimates suggesting 11.8 million could lose benefits by the decade's end.
