House Republicans Divided on Deep Medicaid Cuts | JQJO

House Republicans are deeply divided over Medicaid cuts in their proposed bill. Swing-district Republicans oppose significant cuts, while conservatives demand at least $2 trillion in cuts, primarily from Medicaid. The Energy and Commerce Committee is seeking $880 billion in savings, with disagreements persisting over lowering the federal match and imposing per capita caps on Medicaid spending. The narrow House majority leaves little room for defections, increasing pressure to find a compromise before the Memorial Day deadline. The CBO report highlights the potential for millions to lose Medicaid coverage under proposed cuts.
