Hawley Warns Senators Medicaid Crackdown Won’t Fly

“Sen. Josh Hawley is urging GOP leaders to strike Senate Finance Committee language altering a key Medicaid financing provision, warning he’s already hearing from House Republicans that it can’t clear their chamber,” Politico reports.

Said Hawley: “I don’t know why we would pass something that the House can’t pass and will force us into a conference.”

Axios: “Hawley has been the loudest GOP voice fighting against Medicaid cuts. He was shocked and angered by the Senate going even further than the House to find Medicaid savings. House leadership’s concerns could help his case.“
