Medicaid quickly appears as political lightning because the Republicans in the house negotiate a huge proposal for the President’s Promotion Act Donald Trump agenda.
Some Republican legislators are concerned about the level of reduction in the costs that the fiscal hawks have sought to compensate for Trump’s policies, claiming that the current agreement could force a potentially impossible reduction on Medicaid and other programs of the federal security network.
“I am worried about $ 880 billion from [the House Energy & Commerce Committee] Probably the steep cuts of Medicaida is what President Trump asked us not to do, “Don Bacon, R-Neb said on Tuesday.
GOP MPs work to transfer a wide part of Trump’s policies – from investment in the protection of defense and boundaries to extension of tax reduction in 2017 and removal of TIPS taxes – the budget reconciliation procedure. The mechanism enables foreigners that control both houses of Congress to adopt a tax and budget account without the help of the opposing party.

But conservative hawks are looking for deep reduction in federal dollars to make up for money by going to Trump’s priorities. IN Progression of current resolution Through the house, it would aim to reduce state consumption by at least $ 1.5 trillion, and at the same time awarded $ 4.5 billion dollars to Trump’s tax reduction.
The amendment was added after the conservatives concluded the contract reduced the funds for Trump’s tax reduction by $ 500 billion if there were no at least $ 2 trillion with a total consumption reduction.
Even before additional reductions, some Republicans like Bacon are worried that $ 880 billion, which the Energy and Trade Committee will be in charge of cutting will be negatively affected by their voters.
Conservatives pushed out, claiming that there are significant reductions in the requirements for work on Medicaid. But the skeptics of this argument say that the level of reduction in consumption that is sought are past which requirements for work can cover.
“We want to ensure that it will not harm … our hospitals or our organizations serving disabled people in development, and we seek clarity from where $ 880 billion comes from,” Nicole Malliotakis, RN.Y., The only Republican representing part of New York, he told Fox News Digital.
She agreed with the GOP rebels that there were “bad management” and waste in these programs.

Miliotakis and other Republicans on the Committee on the ways and funds in charge of writing tax policy are also uncomfortable because of a new amendment that could reduce the funds allocated to their panel.
“I don’t think it’s feasible without affecting users. And I expressed concern to lead and talk to some of my colleagues,” Milliotakis said.
Another Republican of the house who refused to name for Fox News Digital that “there is a bunch of us” who think the proposed cuts are “too big”.
“They are trying to sell $ 1.5 trillion, but in reality another $ 500 billion is attached to try to reduce. And that will not pass,” said GOP MP.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., Who rejected Democrats in a close race last year, wrote on X over the weekend: “I ran for Congress under promises to always do what is best for the northeast Pennsylvani people. If the account is put in front of me that deal with the benefits of my neighbors rely on, I will not vote for it. “

IN Budget reconciliation procedure Allows legislation to progress only by the GOP votes by lowering the threshold to the passage of the Senate with two-thirds to a simple majority of 51 seats. The house is already acting on a simple majority.
But currently, Republicans can only lose one vote in the house to transfer everything to party lines – which means that they cannot afford almost any disagreement to get their account to reconcile over the line.

“And this is not a decrease in Medicaid. Labor requirements have a savings of $ 800 billion on it … capable 40-year-old men who can work should not be on Medicaida,” Norman said.

Pac majority Pac, who is aligned with home democratic leadership, on Tuesday posted a memorandum of accusing Republicans that they want to make a “deep reduction in” Medicaid “for funding $ 4.5 trillion reduction of taxes to Elon Musk and other billionaires.”
“Congresses of Congress Congress throughout the country, Republicans put Medicaid on a hosting block in the house that would chase health care for rescue of tens of thousands of their voters-on-half half of the children,” the letter said.
But according to the modes and means of Republicans, the average US household could see taxes by over 20% if Trump’s tax reduction expires.
