GOP Medicaid Cuts Tied to Trump Policy Funding

House Republicans are debating a budget that would cut $880 billion from Medicaid over the next decade to fund President Trump's priorities, including tax cuts and increased defense spending. The Congressional Budget Office estimates these cuts could lead to 2.3 to 10 million Americans losing Medicaid coverage, especially in states with high enrollment. The proposals have divided the GOP, with moderates concerned about voter backlash and the impact on their districts. Public opinion polls, such as those in Michigan, show widespread opposition to Medicaid cuts, with many residents valuing the program. Healthcare providers warn that these reductions could harm not only Medicaid beneficiaries but also broader community healthcare access. Democrats contend the cuts would endanger millions and accuse Republicans of breaking promises and prioritizing tax breaks for the wealthy.
