In a recent meeting, Trump and top White House officials discussed potential cuts to mandatory spending with GOP senators, indicating flexibility in Medicaid and health care growth. He emphasized addressing waste and fraud, particularly in Medicaid, and desires to raise the debt ceiling and make tax cuts permanent using innovative legislative strategies. Senators noted Trump’s boldness and commitment to eliminating inefficiencies, as discussions also floated the idea of codifying cuts through a rescission package to expedite legislative action without Democratic support.
Trump expressed openness to work requirements for Medicaid and discussing ways to reduce the rate of growth of some health care programs which could be counted as potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in savings.
There is money laundering being done with regard to Medicaid, and the American taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for that, Barrasso said.
