Medicaid Cuts Mean New Trouble for Trump Megabill

“Senate Republicans’ plan to extract more savings from Medicaid as part of their revised tax and spending package triggered a backlash within the party, raising concerns that leaders could miss their self-imposed deadline of getting the bill to President Trump’s desk by July 4,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Republicans remain divided on a series of issues, ranging from healthcare spending, to deficit reduction, to clean energy tax credits to state and local tax deductions. A significant GOP revolt on any of these could prove fatal for the legislation, which must clear the 53-47 GOP-controlled Senate and then be approved again in the narrowly divided Republican-run House.”
