House Republicans unveil Medicaid cuts that Democrats warn will leave millions without care

House Republicans have introduced a significant cost-saving component of President Donald Trump’s tax bill, which includes cuts of at least $880 billion to Medicaid. These cuts are intended to offset the $4.5 trillion in tax breaks. The legislation has sparked a contentious debate over healthcare, reminiscent of previous attempts to repeal Obamacare. While Republicans argue that the cuts aim to eliminate waste and abuse, Democrats warn that millions of Americans could lose coverage. The proposed changes to Medicaid eligibility requirements and reductions in funding could have significant implications for healthcare access. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to roll back Biden-era green energy programs and changes to provider taxes used to fund Medicaid programs. The legislation is currently undergoing scrutiny in various House committees, with Republicans aiming to achieve substantial savings to finance the tax breaks.
